Yes. What a waste! Those planes could have left FULL of evacuees. The Israelis bombed the runway again as soon as the MEA planes took off. I'm guessing that there is a helicopter ride in my near future. No word yet.
Fox reporting 3 explosions in Beirut targeting Hezbollah hqtrs. And, it is believed that Sheik Nasrallah, head of Hezbollah, may have been in one that collapsed.
Hope that you remain well.
Best of luck.
My uncle would be rolling over in his grave...he was a Captain for Pan American, and based in Beirut (living there with his family, of course) for well over a year in either the late 50's or very early 60's....as I recall, they absolutely loved it.
Sit tight. We're sending Ray Nagin and Kathleen Blanco over to get you all evacuated!
Rebel, the U.S. is preparing to evacuate Americans from Beruit per Fox News.
Keeping you in prayers. Stay safe.
Prayers for you will continue until you're home safely.
