The explosion is going to have long lasting effects in the economy of Lebanon, let's suppose that you are interested in investing in the country are you going to do it after what happened? Do you really trust in the government when it is clear as day that a huge level of corruption has taken over it? There is probably going to be social instability because of it and when you add all of that this means that not only a lot of people lost their jobs and their homes probably very little money will come to the country during the next years.
The answer would be obvious, it's a no.How can someone invest in a country where the government would be the only one who will benefit from the invested money instead of making a move for the growth of their economy.
Especially in this crisis that they are facing, we can see how worse it is. Even the people, suggested that if the other countries want to donate, do not trust the donation to the government, it should be directed to the affected people.
First I would like to say that none of us are wishing for such a thing to happen, but yes we always have to take precautions.
But, do people really store their keys in a roof? have you seen how that explosion cleared out the whole buildings?
I felt sorry for those people because they have been going through difficulties, this explosion displacing over 300,000 people means that it would add to the number of people that are going through such difficulties. But, apart from storing your keys in a safe or similar ways, there are many other ways that you can do these things and be safe no matter what happens.

The fact that we really don't know what tomorrow may bring. Rich and poor,boy or girl,young or adult everyone is affected in a moment. Very horrible tragedy in Lebanon. Covid 19 is not yet end but there is another one that caused too much pain to those affected specially those people that lost their loved ones on that tragedy. Not only the people were affected too much but also the economic situation of Lebanon are now getting more worst.
Let us help them through prayer that they will become more stronger this time and they can recover fast.

The incident in Lebanon was really a tragic one and another suffering for the people living in there because such incident have happened while the pandemic is still on which is a double decker suffering due to health threat because of the virus and at the same time problem on where do this people will live when their houses and livelihoods are affected by the blast brought by the explosion.
This year have been a massive tragedy for each and everyone of us for different countries are also suffering from different calamities brought by natural disasters and the health threat which is the pandemic that we are all facing through right now. Prayers are really one of the greatest offering and weapon that we can offer at this time of crisis. May this be the last tragic event in Lebanon to happen for this year for we are already been drained by the situation and all of us are exhausted on seeking survival fighting back against the covid-19 pandemic.
This tragic event will surely have an additional impact on how the country and the people of Lebanon will rise up their economy but hopefully they can surpass this challenge and let our prayers guide them all throughout their journey.

I wonder their government has been doing about the explosion. I read from the news that sixteen were detained and being questioned because of the explosion, so have they figured what caused the explosion yet? And things got really sad when I got to know that more people were found dead as the citizens dig through debris. 2020 has been something else, a lot of things has been happening since this year, just when I thought that 2019 was the worst year ever, then we got into 2020 and it’s the worst. I pray that these things that has been happening comes to an end and the world gets better. I so much hate to see bad news when I’m surfing the internet.
A lots of unexpected incidents aside from this explosions, moving to your question, it interest me to know whether this just an accident
or someone planned it up causing the death of many people and really damaged the city.
If ever something comes up and turned that there's group behind this, the sad thing to think about is if there's another one to expect
hopefully it won't be permitted let those innocent people be save from whoever did this to their country.
Only the time can tell if what will tomorrow brings, a joining prayers to let God's mercy to save not just the people from Lebanon but the
entire world who still suffering from this pandemic virus and other burden in life.

Its really hard for Lebanon to face this kind of tragic explosion in the middle of covid-19 battle. My prayers are with them to survive and rise up after this terrible blast off. Its good to know that despite of this pandemic, where the whole world is struggling, still a lot of kindhearted countries sent help and aid to Lebanon. Indeed, this pandemic is not a hindrance to reach out each countries that really needed help. For sure, i know Lebanese people will get through this and their economy will rise again.

All prayers to Lebanon and this is a really nightmare that never expected to happened, its such a tragic tragedy. Many affected by this tragedy, many lost their lives instantly, properties destruction due to the big explosion and really spread scary feeling to the people of Lebanon on how they can cope up with this while covid pandemic is still a threat that also disabled their economy status. 2020 was a cursed after all and really a bad year for us, hoping we can forward the time and skip this year to 2021.
I believe there wasn't really a bad intention going around, if it was bad intentions nobody would have done it this obviously, there was stuff contained in there all together and we have seen pictures of it and that had some chemicals in it that could cause a big explosion in itself and we are talking about many of it all stored inside one warehouse, nobody who has ill intentions would do that hoping that nobody notices, the sad thing is this wasn't ill intended this was just a bad management who has put it there and just didn't consider the fact that what is inside could be explosive and just kept it there until it exploded.
I have checked the pictures of the aftermath and I feel like number of death that is reported sounds like could be going up soon with how there is too many injured right now, hopefully all would recover but looks like that number will go up.

The worst thing about this is that the cases of covid in Lebanon is increasing because of this explosion. Huge number of people are homeless and vulnerable to the pandemic that is happening. Their cases just spiked after that, this will be a huge effect on the economy and very traumatic for those people.
That was seriously unexpected and terrifying that such event have happened while the world is still facing a serious threat on health concerns. It really feels sad that while many people are still in concern of their health to fight back against Coronavirus pandemic, the people in Lebanon are bringing a big loads of suffering on how their lives could be turned back to normal when their properties and livelihoods are all destructed by the blast that have killed many people and wounded many individuals as well.
The people in Lebanon have double sufferings at this moment that both concerns their life and health for where they will live at these days because their houses are destructed plus there is still a present threat concerning health because of the covid-19 pandemic. What we can do now is to give out our prayers and full sympathy to the affected individuals by that deadly blasting in Lebanon. May that happening be the last terrifying event this year for we cannot take furthermore damage at this time.

I tend to agree with you there, though as I stated in another thread I'm not sure how dense the population was in that area at the time of the explosion. Four thousand wounded sounds about right, but less than 100 dead? I find that a little hard to believe.
This is what I've been thinking too! The first time I saw a video I didn't even believe it. Thought it was an old vid but I decided to search for it then I saw overflowing news from 20 minutes ago and its true. I just thought damn, thousands will be dead, a whole building just exploded and videos even from afar took a lot of damage.
-snip
seeing that there was only a fire before the explosion, it is possible that people in the nearby area have already been evacuated or at least have been warned about the possible danger, drastically reducing the possible death from the explosion. most of the damage in the nearby area were done by the shockwave(basing what I saw on the videos) and not the explosion itself. also, the death toll is rising day by day and I expect it to increase in following days(I hope I am wrong though)

I am just so sad thousands of people lose their home during this pandemic, even us aren't evev safe from the virus, but thinking how would those people people feel during this time just breaks my heart.
Not only in Lebanon, lot of countries also stored their seized product like this on their ports for years because of lazy government officials and not having proper guidance from the administrative officials.Now lot of countries are evacuating their ammonium nitrate from their ports silently. 
I believe that everything that happened in Beirut is to blame for the government, which was pursuing very bad policies. That is why the head of state refused to help the leaders of other countries in the investigation of the tragedy. It seems to me that the real facts of the reasons for what happened, as well as the culprits, will be hidden from the world community. But one way or another, the mediocre government of Lebanon and the leadership of Beirut, by their actions, destroyed an economically important city for the entire country, all infrastructure and a large number of people, although the exact numbers are still unknown. 
Woke up and saw vids of explosions about Lebanon here and there. Had to look up what happened and sadly, there wasn't really any news about how the explosion came about, one's that was sure of what happened. It is a pity though, with how all countries are experiencing difficulties, this happened on top of that.
Not only in Lebanon, lot of countries also stored their seized product like this on their ports for years because of lazy government officials and not having proper guidance from the administrative officials.Now lot of countries are evacuating their ammonium nitrate from their ports silently. I tend to believe that due to its longer storage time in that warehouse, that explosive material may have been decomposing for a while which may have resulted into producing chemical reactions that could be more explosive especially if it were exposed to fire or heat.
Normally, a newly manufactured ammonium nitrate won't explode even if its thrown to a fire itself not unless it its mixed with other substances like fuel oil, etc, or be used with a detonator.
So I think this is not a terrorist attack, rather its the result of poor handling and negligence among Lebanese authorities. Imho.
It is odd how they didn't properly handle it though, considering they know the materials that were stored in there, especially since it was in the middle of civilization. Plus, considering the explosion that happened, it wasn't just a few materials out there, there were enough to even label it to something like what terrorists use when bombing, or even worse. Even if we do consider that the pandemic hit them hard, it still isn't an excuse for them to leave dangerous materials hanging there without any proper procedures of disposal for them.

And also another rumor spreads that it is a terrorist attack, any opinion about this?
I think people should slow down with speculations about terrorism or Israel attack. It's a tragic event, many people have died and been injured, the damage is devastating. There is no need to invent more stuff to make the news more "spicy", at least not until investigation uncovers something else.
