Beirut was and remains mostly peaceful.

60% is easiest to view; captures all the postmortem carnage.

Thanks. ;)

I had a fraternity brother from there. He said you could swim in the ocean during the day and snow ski at night. If you lived through getting through the city

You guys! We're slipping! Close to 50 posts in!

Back in the day, my Feds assigned my dad to some duty station in what was then Rhodesia. As kids we were to attend schools in Beirut. Unfortunately, just as we were finishing up all of our pre-trip logistics, the feds cancelled his assignment as Rhodesia quickly went into a civil war.

You’re welcome.

Seems a little superfluous to have a new swimming pool next to the wharf...

But, who am I to judge.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Not ammonium nitrate.

[desertfreedom765]

You do realize that people died in this explosion?

Why would you make fun of their death?

[metmom]

I feel for all the civilians who were injured and killed in that blast, but it couldn’t have happened to a nicer group (Hezbollah)

[shotgun]

Lighten up Francis!

I’m not making fun of their death, if anything I’m posting the graphic of the incident to make fun of all of the breaking news BOOM posts.

[knarf]

I wondered about that too, but I don’t know enough to comment intelligently

[pas]

It was a mostly peaceful explosion.

[metmom]

You think you could resize that?

I’m sort of OK on my computer, but it would wreak havoc with my iPad and someone’s phone.

Never store your fertilizer next to a fireworks factory.

Best be careful, apparently I triggered the sensitivities of a fellow FReeper… /s

[metmom]

Thanks.

[redshawk]

Oh... No... There Goes Tokyo... Godzilla...

[desertfreedom765]

BS and you know it.

If this explosion had happened in the US or Israel or some other country allied to the US you wouldn’t have posted it.

Plenty of Videos of Nuclear explosions where no one died that you could have used.

You don’t know me and thankfully I don’t know you but you have some serious issues.
