    Decimated is one way to put it. I am not sure how old you are but I remember that we were getting ready for dinner and to down for a night of Eurovision (which still used to be a big TV item in those days) and next - this comes on. That neighbourhood, frankly, didn't exist anymore. It was like looking at Dresden after the RAF and USAAF went to town on it.



    Wake up and smell the coffee.

    Tragic news. Probably by tomorrow we will have hundreds of confirmed casualties. I do not think that people are realizing the magnitude of the explosion, it was felt in Cyprus, over 200 km away.

    That place should never have been there in the first place. Whoever approved that factory/storage space up there should have been made to bungee jump from the Utrecht Cathedral's belltower tied to nothing more than a dropveter (a string of licorice. for the rest of you).

    We will see in coming days the "why and how".
    That was my first thought also...

    Crazy to have that much nitrate stored in a singular facility.

    What a disaster for Lebanon especially with such economic crisis... I texted my Lebanese friends, one of them was near the port with his daughter, they flied away... very scary. I pray for them, this is really sad.
    I was there 1 year ago... it’s weird

    Fek, the impact seems enormous. Condolences to the victims...

    Were there maybe other explosives stacked in the port nearby?

    I do not think that people are realizing the magnitude of the explosion, it was felt in Cyprus, over 200 km away.
    Yy, local news are all about it.
