Beirut grain silo falls in partial collapse (+VIDEO)

Lebanon's National News Agency confirmed the silo's partial collapse Sunday as videos of the damage appeared to circulate online. A Reuters witness reported seeing a dust cloud and what appeared to be smoke after the silo came down.

The silos have been on fire for weeks prior to Sunday's collapse, burning orange as many feared the damaged structures would eventually fall, NBC News reported.

The British Embassy in Lebanon sent a tweet following the collapse, asking anyone indoors to close their windows and doors.
