It's been under the radar in Western media but Lebanon is in the middle of a MASSIVE economic crisis right now. Like, there ain't even bread in the stores and regular middle-class people have no food level crisis. If this fukks them up even worse, there will be actual starvation.
it definitely will.

the airport which is 10 kms away from the port was damaged.

hospitals all over the city but especially east beirut are wrecked. ERs completely destroyed

the souks, an upscale downtown shopping center in west beiruts coastal area, completely destroyed. i was actually there last year and a bunch of shops were boarded up because of the economic crash anyway

the damage of this explosion would cost millions upon millions and the country is bankrupt. and if it is the result of improper handling of confiscated fertilizer like sources are saying now that will also intensify anti-government sentiment to an even greater degree

Speculating and saying Mossad did this is fun but more likely....



Allegedly a ship in need of repairs docked there 10 years ago and offloaded 50 tons of ammonium nitrate and never came back to pick the shyt up. It never got disposed of and here we are.



Government Incompetence, bane of the developing world. These fukkers need to executed.


Their main port is completely fukked, airport took some damage too.

In the Silver Lining
Ain't no way those was just fireworks :hhh:. That shyt sent a Shockwave for miles

Saw a post saying they felt/heard it on the island of Cyprus, 150 miles away.

"Hopefully nobody got hurt." :picard:

Hopefully, there are people still alive.

President of Lebanon said there were firefighters already on the scene putting out the initial fire, when that massive one filmed occurred.
