A moving video captures a grandmother in Lebanon calmly playing “Auld Lang Syne” on the piano in her debris-strewn home in the wake of the massive blast that shook Beirut on Tuesday.
“This woman playing the piano in the midst of the rubble in Lebanon reminded me of the scene in Titanic when the band plays music calmly while the ship is sinking,” Lebanese author and activist Najwa Zebian said in a Twitter post on Wednesday. “Hope. Hope. Hope. Hope in the middle of the ashes. #lebanon #beirut.”
