In June 2009, a tragic diving accident occurred in Beirut at the Manara Promenade, or Al-Rawsha, despite official disapproval. The victim, a teenager, and his brother had been diving successfully before the victim slipped and sustained a severe head injury. The accident was captured on a blurry Nokia cellphone video by a bystander who can be heard calling for help in Arabic.<ref name="lindsay">robert-lindsay.blogspot.com/2009/10/face-split-diving-accident-video.html (Robert Lindsay analysis)</ref> The video shows the victim jumping off a crate and hitting his head on a brown box before plunging into the ocean and bleeding profusely. A rescue team can be seen swimming towards him while his friends cry out in despair. The video then cuts to footage shot in the brightly lit ER of the nearby American University Hospital, showing the victim lying in a bed with severe facial injuries while doctors operate on him and speak in [[wikipedia:Arabic|Arabic]]. The victim loses unconsciousness and dies two days later.<ref>Skabash. (2009, June 9). Head Split Dive Accident Trend. [Blog post].
