AP PHOTOS: Scars from Beirut blast capture moment of horror

Associated Press  

BEIRUT — Their scars capture the horrific moment when every window shattered. The scars often tell the story of where the victim was standing when a stockpile of explosive chemicals stored at Beirut’s port was ignited by a fire, sending an earthquake-like jolt through the city and leaving entire blocks littered with rubble. “Then, after 20 minutes, I think people heard our screams and someone came and took us to the hospital.” He needed 350 stitches, dark tracks that criss-cross his arms, legs, chest and face. The blast destroyed entire neighborhoods near the port, leaving tens of thousands of people unable to live in their homes or operate their businesses. “This was not something normal to happen.” ___ Follow Associated Press photographers and photo editors on Twitter at www.twitter.com/AP_Images and on Instagram at www.instagram.com/apnews
