  1. This region has never seen peace, they’ll get through it. They need to get along with each other and its neighbors. Their wars caused much more damage and deaths.
    I hope this is not a excuse for mr.zoolander trudeau to throw more money and take in more Islamist refugees

  2. Search and rescue discovered “panic rooms” under the bomb site. Who stores explosives on top of “panic rooms”?

    1. What caused it is the explosion is the explosion and burning of the ammunition depot that belongs to hezbolla ( that’s why you see things popping and they claim that it’s fireworks ) when this exploded a nearby ammonium nitrate depot exploded also belongs to hezbolla militia, ofcourse theg denied and our corrupt government is helping them hiding the truth . But what actually made the ammunition depot burn and explode in first place is another story ….

  3. Foreigners come in with help is ok, no political deal, cash not credit, medical supplies, absolutely no funking weapons, make your country weapon free.

  4. Storing fireworks and explosive chemicals in the same depo. Hope they investigate Whoever was responsible for this disaster

  5. Let’s take a moment to see how the Lord saved her by sending a human to tell her to come to a revolution meeting instead of staying home which if she stayed at home the outcome would have been death

    1. She’s probably an activist and part of an anti-government protest movement that has been in place there for a few months…

    2. I saw a report elsewhere. Lebanon and Beirut have multiple militias. Lousy infrastructure, decades old problems
      Revolutionary party whatever its name is, is probably a common name.
      What a pity.

  7. I remember the explosion in Halifax Canada 🇨🇦 when 2 ships collided 1 ship carrying explosives for World War One destined for the battlefields in 1917 that wiped out everything in sight almost 2000 died, 9000 injured and blinded, 25’000 left without adequate shelter. 🇨🇦 it was the world’s biggest explosion before Atomic bombs in 1945.
