Beirut, Lebanon – “Without the grain silos, I would not be speaking to you, neither would my wife,” says Paul Naggear.
The Lebanese engineer and his wife Tracy survived the devastating Beirut Port explosion on August 4, 2020, thanks to the mammoth grain silos which shielded their apartment from the powerful blast that killed more than 200 people. Unfortunately, their three-year-old daughter Alexandra could not survive the explosion.
