We usually try to find you a funny or humorous video for Trending Now but there's nothing like that here. Dozens of people were killed and hundreds injured when an estimated 2,700 tonnes of ammonium nitrate and fireworks exploded in Beirut, Lebanon.

Here's two videos recently posted, one incredibly close to the blast and the other from a wedding videographer's drone which happened to catch the moment in the middle of a shoot from well away. Have a look.

We offer you one — just ONE — viral video per day that we call TRENDING NOW. It’s not ours, it’s not news, it’s not vital or even useful — unless it makes you smile. Got a video you want to share? Hit us up on our Facebook Page or email news@infonews.ca and be sure to tell us why.
