The pager explosions that took place in Beirut, Lebanon from September 17 to 18 have completely changed local people's life, said a survivor of the attack staged by Israel. According to official statistics from Lebanon, the explosions killed 39 and injured about 3,000 others. Twenty nine-year-old Lebanese youth Chady, a computer technician, lives in southern Beirut. He recalled that at around 14:30 on Sept 17 last year, he and his fiancee were at home preparing for their wedding, which was scheduled to be held several days late, when the explosion happened. "I saw a message on pager. It wrote 'error, press arrow up and arrow down and OK," Chady said. Just a few seconds later, Chady's pager exploded. He recalled that as he heard the sound of Israeli drones over the southern suburbs of Beirut, he thought he had been hit by an air strike. "I was in great pain. It felt like being hit on the face by something hard, not like a football but like a bowling ball. At that time, I felt dizzy and shocked. I collapsed on the ground and gradually realized what had happened. I raised my left hand, and found my fingers were broken, one like this and another like that. My fingers were thus blasted and severed," said Chady. The explosion caused Chady to lose his eyesight, suffer hearing impairment and become disabled in both hands. After a year of rehabilitation, Chady began to pursue a doctoral degree in computer science. In speaking of the future, he remains optimistic. "We love life and we want to continue our development. We should build a prosperous and unified country and a wealthy and elegant society, which is the greatest driving force for our future development. Despite the difficulties and challenges, we will still keep moving forward," he said. The video shows: Beirut, Lebanon - Recent (CCTV - No access Chinese mainland) 1.
