At least you got out safely.You could relax on a Cypriot Beach, Beirut is still a fascinating city even with all the derelict buildings.The port of Byblos is a must see & Tramway in Jbeil you have quite a view of the area from the top.
Lebanon was under attack from the Israeli Army and so foreign nationals in the country were evacuated by sea to the nearest countries, Cyprus and Turkey, where we were then able to fly back to our home countries.
ya i was on the USS Nashville too i thought it was fun lol i was lucky enough to find the captain's quarters and my family and i stayed in there the whole time
Wow, very good footage. I don't know how you could be dancing at a horrible time like that though. I mean I know I would try and do anything to pass the time and even maybe somtin to cheer people up but I just can't picture myself dancing or looking like I'm celebrating anything when my countries being ripped apart. But that's just me. I hope you and your family made it out of their safely.
You had it way worse than me. I was there that same morning. I made it into the marina at 9:00, because the previous day I had gotten a white slip. I made it onto the USS Nashville and left at 3 pm to cyprus.

It was a terrible situation.

I was also on the Nashville. My evacuation was very professional considering the huge numbers of people all wanting to go at the same time.
The recent car bombing is just another reminder that Lebanon will never be free as long as another country holds her people in fear.
