Non politics - That explosion in Beirut

[Macseasider]

Not seen any post on this.

Absolutely shocking. Knew it was bad but not that bad. One fifth the size of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima I heard in one report.

Just seen a video on the news of a little boy being blown across the room. Made me upset.

Felt in the Greek islands too.

Poor people. I really hope the world gathers round Lebanon to help.

Yes a terrible event for sure.

that aside and being slightly political...I see Macron has landed to sort out the situation for them and add strings to financial assistance and the lefties love him for it.

seems complaining about past Colonialism is only worthwhile if it’s a stick to beat the British government with.

Just seen cctv fo an office 6 km from the blast. The plate glass windows exploded and covered people with broken glass. Very scary

Watching Sky news last night, at least it means Covid is over.

Awful for the people of Beirut. My prayers are with them.
