Yes one of the reports I read said that was a passenger ship capsized from the blast. Something like 3.3 on the rector scale.
 
Lebanon is hurting and it’s people will feel greater pain if left to themselves, the currency was already devaluing and its primary food facility next to the blast site (silo’s) rendered useless.

Yep do not understand countries that were great at one time??
 
Any country that allows that quantity of seized ammonium nitrate to be stored in what is an unsecured and commonly known location and has received numerous complaints for years set themselves up for a tragic ending. The governance failed its people, then add to its internal corruption that worsens year over year. The countries own people do not want aid going to the leadership, they seek direct help.
 
I was watching the news on this, this morning and they were reporting that it is the members of the public and international volunteer groups that are going around helping people. Government forces are no where to be found. Amazing that the government are not supporting the people through this type of event.

There are some, in and outside the US Government, that want all restrictions removed. there will be more of these explosions, in the US if the existing trend continues.
 
Saw that the entire government quit. Probably a good move on their part, i suspect many of them are on planes out of the country now.
Leaves a big hole to be filled by a strong player ... hezbollah maybe?
