Is there any way, any way at all possible for you to put Fadi and the others on here who have shared their incredible stories, who are suffering from PTSD to put them in touch with Imperial College of London's David Nutt or Robin Carhart Harris they have done studies with Psilocybin and Ptsd it's helped some people tremendously, not sure if they're are doing any study trials right now but heart goes out to all these people and what they've been through. Exploring psilocybin therapy myself here in Canada and really seeing the benefits of it. Thank you for this series, truly have loved hearing everyone's stories.

I don’t wanna be a Debbie downer and I understand that I don’t exactly live in Beirut (I live in Liverpool, England) However, I just couldn’t help point to the fact that by definition, didn’t I also survive the explosion. I’m not exactly in Russia , it easily could’ve affected me as it did with Fadi. I just thought I should bring that up, it’s slightly confusing me to be honest haha. Look forward to a reply! -Michael

I'm a lebanese that lives in lebanon. This explosion didn't just affect the people who were around the explosion, it also affected nearly every lebanese citizen, like me for example, i lost a friend in there and nearly lost my mom. That whole week, everything just felt like some psychological horror experience that's too surreal, i really hope no one ever has to go thru something like that.

I'd like to say to Fadi, about his survivor guilt - if you had not survived, Joe would almost certainly not have survived either, and all the people you helped while getting Joe to hospital might not have been helped by anyone else, and the girl who lost an eye, she might have sat next to someone who would have freaked out and said "Oh my God you've lost your eye, it's horrible!" Your survival has helped a bunch of people. You're a good man, and you did good.

I remember sitting in my bedroom in Scotland when the videos came out of the explosion. They took my breath away, I don't think I've ever had the air sucked out of my lungs like that. I'd heard that description before, but never experienced it myself. I called my dad back in Ireland straight away and asked him if he'd seen it, and we were just in total shock. He spent a brief period of time in Beirut quite a few years ago, just over a summer working with students, but he loved the place and the people. And of course, the food! I've always been told about the food. My heart aches for you all - those immediately impacted, and the people of Lebanon in general. Lots of love to you all from Ireland 🇮🇪🍀♥️ Thank you so much for sharing your story, Fadi. I'm so glad to know Joe is okay.

Hard to believe that was a year ago already. It really shows how people coming together in crisis is what makes a difference, not people retreating to their bunkers to their ammo and MREs. Another side of this (something Fadi touched on at the end) is something that most people are never tested enough to learn about themselves: your will gets you through things you would never imagine your body is capable of. It's different for everyone, but how you come through a crucible event like this can show you who you are today and shape who you become for the rest of your life.

Survivor’s guilt is the price we pay for living beyond what we thought we should - life is such a fragile, wonderful thing amidst all the chaos. You did several amazing, wonderful things for people that day. It’s okay to hurt. It’s okay to be angry. It’s okay to feel vengeful. I hope you feel every moment of joy you can even fathom, for the rest of your life.

"it sounded like something had murdered earth and earth was roaring back with agony and pain" .. I draw parallels of this to nuclear weapons and consider what sort of life form we are on this planet. This description he made hit hard. I do not think I'll ever forget it.

I was born in Beirut during the war. Thankfully, we fled when I was just a baby. I have always wonder what kind of life I would've had if we stayed. A part of me feels guilty that I got to be the lucky one to leave. God bless Lebanon and the Lebanese people who have suffered so much. God damn their government for their corruption and greed! Much love to you from Canada, Fadi. I can see that you're a good man and friend.

You are a hero! I wish to god there was someone out there when I was a kid and horrific things happened to me. Barely 1 month after I turned 15 I was abused in a group home I had just moved into because my Grandmum who raised me from 6 months old was put into a home for Alzheimer's.. I can't go further with those events that occurred but it was as bad as it gets THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING THERE FOR THE KIDS U SAVE TODAY. YOU TRULY ARE A HERO!

"Can you see me with this eye? Then that's all you need to worry about!" ok I laughed pretty hard at that one. Pretty sure he saved his friend Joe's life. Oh wow, this video just came out. I really appreciate that he shared his story with all of the details. I like that now he carries MORE first aid kits. What a boss this guy is, definitely a hero even if he doesn't feel like one.

It is always extrordinary and deserving of the greatest admiration, when a person confronted with such a horrific event is able to gather their senses and act to help themself and others. Fadi had helped his friend and several other people on the way and also the doctors caring for patients. He's an example to all of us.

This was such an amazingly horrible tragedy. I remember seeing footage in the middle of someone getting married and every building around them shattered in a heartbeat. TO have been the person to catch that video and not be too hurt, is amazing... I can understand the survivor guilt, but I hope Fadi can realise that he has no need to ever blame himself... Just be happy for the luck you had that day, and the absolutely beautiful love he definitely has for his friend Joe, I was so worried the whole way through this story that Joe would not make it.... I wish everyone ever involved in this, any compensation they can get
