Lebanese capital rocked by huge explosion - GeniLoyd - 08-04-2020
Beirut explosion rocks Lebanon's capital city
- At least 100 people were killed and 4,000 wounded in a massive explosion that shook Beirut on Tuesday, state-run media reported, citing the Red Cross.
- Hundreds have been reported missing, raising fears that the death toll will rise, Lebanon's Health minister said Wednesday.
- It's still unclear what exactly caused the explosion. Lebanon's prime minister said an investigation would focus on an estimated 2,750 metric tons of the explosive ammonium nitrate stored at a warehouse.

The Tianjin explosion that happened 5 years ago was visually better for me (you can search on YouTube because I can't embed video).

Yup, never seen the bigger flame.
Explosion in Beirut was destructive, but not so epic visually.

It's certainly quite alarming.

Forgive me - This event happened about a month ago, so we do already have a thread on the disaster: https://sinister.ly/Thread-Gold-Huge-explosions-rock-Lebanon-s-Beirut-buildings-cars-totalled
There's several videos within the thread that give you an idea of the devastation and what it was like as the blast occurred.
However, I don't particularly want to close this thread, as it's already had a few replies and would do no harm to let others know this happened. I believe the latest death toll is quoted as 190? Heartbreaking.

It may well be In excess of 200.

There we go - that's incredibly sad. I've also read that their coronavirus cases have increased. Which is unsurprising.

Let's hope they recover a lot sooner than later.
