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.

JuSayCO you are right, it's an awful timing for Lebanon, the Covid-19 already weakened many countries, and now this explosion.
If they were in crisis, now they are in terrible position.
When I watched the video I couldn't believe what is happening. People there needs help and I hope that big countries will help,
with finance and with food and medical equipment. My thoughts are with people from Lebanon!

Coincidence or not something smells very strange.

Seriously with the news you shared? Wth, Im not a pessimistic guy but the way it happened doesnt sound coincidence anymore.

Too much for a conspiracy theory, but If someone created a thread over that topic might be a good debatable but must be on Politics Board. But thanks for sharing though!

There will always be some people who will associate this incident with a theory conspiration behind it. I think for a heartbreaking disaster like this we shouldn't focus on negative thought

Seems I tried to be positive but some users here tend to pulled some news related but anyway, like everyone said we must not focus on the negative side but hope for those been affected.

It gives me a chill when I watched the videos about what happened in Lebanon the blast are so massive where the whole city heard and felt the aura of the explosion. I saw a lot of insensitive videos about dead people around the cities. It is really a sad news because we are still facing a pandemic and this massive explosion happened Sad

. That explosion happened in a big city where it can affect the world economy and not only the economy of their nation. Lebanese are really good persons, I want to give sympathy for those people who are affected especially for the person who lose their special someone because of the explosion.

Ongoing year is a big game changer in everyone's life. No one could've thought such a situation as now prevails around the globe. This has been taken as a learning by people around, with every incident humanity is growing. Another thing, governments were also turning themselves to be more responsible than being corrupt. With the recent explosion in Lebanon every country has woken. In my country the government has begun taking necessary steps to keep things safe on the warehouse for explosives.

Though ammonium nitrate is not as explosive as the usual bombs and it is not easy to detonate (AFAIK) but I think it is not enough proof to justify that everything was planned or somebody light it up intentionally. Hmm It just so happened that warehouse contain plenty supply of it (maybe used for fertilizing the soil) that's why it resulted to a huge explosion.

Most probably, the intensity of the explosion made the conspiracy theorists lead them to a conclusion that terrorism is the reason behind this tragedy. Well, I can't blame them to think that way because witnessing a huge mushroom cloud could really lose your mind either. I know we can't control the curious minds of other people so the least thing we can do to stop the negativity is to ignore them. But why they can't understand that it was just an accident tsk Undecided

?

Discussing something that happens in Lebanon will always be linked to Israel, and vice versa. This is no longer an ideological war but a war of beliefs and many elements of conflict between Muslims and Jews. Both countries should realize that whatever happens in reality Israel cannot eliminate Lebanon and vice versa. Both exist in the world. War only adds to the suffering of each party, but because it involves the beliefs and conflicts of Israel and Lebanon ingrained in history written, both parties have different glasses in this conflict with the justification and legitimacy of religious defense.

There will always be some people who will associate this incident with a theory conspiration behind it. I think for a heartbreaking disaster like this we shouldn't focus on negative thought and it is better praying for the people who suffered during the accident or help them by sending a donation or something that can be useful for them.

The explosion itself is horrible but the whole economical and political situation in Lebanon looks dire. The Lebanese pound lost about 70% of its value against the US dollar and the national debt is enormous. A national bankruptcy is looming. Besides this, there is also an energy crisis.

I don't follow world news much, so thank you for that summary--I didn't realize things in Lebanon were so bad, and this explosion couldn't come at a worse time.

Quote from: BITCOIN4X on August 06, 2020, 04:22:09 AM

2020 is a year that will be remembered by the whole world because of the various disaster that have occurred.

No kidding. The effects of this explosion are relatively local, but there has been so much shit going on in 2020 that every day I get the feeling that the world has been turned on its ear. This is a bitcoin forum and I'm happy bitcoin is doing well in the face of all this horrible stuff that's happening, but man....I just hope 2021 is a better year for all of us, all around.

Also I find hard to believe the body count that officials are giving, it doesn't seem possible to me that such a huge explosion that has left hundreds of thousands without a home has produced a number of victims that is so low.

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.

Damn

this is very bad. I saw the news yesterday, and I was seeing people posting the videos of the explosion on Instagram and Twitter, it looks scary to be sincere. It’s really a sad event, and before now a lot of people have been complaining about how bad the economy and the government is, and then this one happened. I can’t imagine how worse things are going to get from here, although I hope it doesn’t.

The first time I saw the video they said it was a natural disaster, but I didn’t believe it, that led to me doing some research to understand what was behind it, but the news I’ve seen so far were all referring to fireworks just like you have said here. I hope they find out what really triggered the explosion. If people are behind this, they need to be charged and punished heavily.

I just happened to see the news about the explosion on Lebanon. This is really bad for their country especially in this time around which pandemic is having a serious threat to humanity. Their Economics will surely in vain after this tragedy, I do wish that they'll get through all this, I recently posted on how bad it was on our Country but seeing this now, I really feel bad...

It is really terrifying, a total and literal wipe out.

I remember watching the footage and being completely shocked at what happened, I'm pretty sure that if there is a real investigation about this case that corruption is going to be found because I find really weird that material that can cause such a tragedy was allowed to be stored there for six years, why was that material there for six years? Also I find hard to believe the body count that officials are giving, it doesn't seem possible to me that such a huge explosion that has left hundreds of thousands without a home has produced a number of victims that is so low.

I have watched a video of this incident and am really sorry for Lebanon. It was an unexpected and unintentional incident that led to the economic crisis in their country. It seems that 2020 is a bloody year for businesses in many countries. This will have many consequences for the economy which is difficult to recover. Hopefully the Covid 19 epidemic will not erupt in their home country, things have been so bad so far.

What is happening in the world right now? Seems like the year 2020 devastated the entire world. We don`t yet done in COVID-19 pandemic and here it comes another one. Sadly to say that 2 of my countrymen died in Lebanon, we all need right now is praying for the safeness of everyone.

The crisis has begun, Lebanon produces also oil and I think it is not an accident only. There is always a hidden plan for that incident. When I saw the video, it just like seeing a movie happening in reality.

I hope someday the world will heal and we will surpass the catastrophe happening in the world.

I guess it's safe to say that we've all been scammed by 2020. I was one of those people who hoped that 2020 would be the best year but I guess that was just an expectation.

Lebanon is not exempted from experiencing this pandemic. Their hospitals are also struggling to contain corona virus, then they have frequent power outages, then this explosion. I also feel terrible for them especially when I knew that there were fellow countrymen who died and was injured in the incident. I just hope they'll get back on their feet with all of the things going on in their country right now.

2020 really has no chill huh? I wonder how devastating this tragedy would be on their economy especially in this time of Pandemic, where a lot of nation are suffering an economic loss.

Quote from: suchmoon on August 05, 2020, 09:00:45 AM

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.

although I agree, there's really nothing we can do about people making assumptions and spreading rumours about what really happened. also, visiting politics&society board they have pretty much concluded what "really happened" with their assumptions especially the members who are frequent about conspiracy theory.

I would assume that Israel or any other attack thing would be basically useless, I mean what would be earned if Lebanon got destroyed, lets say you destroy all of Lebanon and not just Beirut and there is nothing left of that whole nation, who gains what exactly?

I have been friends with a lot of Lebanese people and I could tell you that they are really awesome people as well, I personally can't talk about other Arabic nations since they do have a lot of human right violations in those places and sometimes a bit backwards but Lebanon is not like that, it is definitely as developed as any other European nation, I hope they will get better very quickly, I can't really say that I could do anything myself personally but I will be praying for them and pray for them to get back on their feet quickly.

Of course I will pray for Lebanon, the explosion incident in Beirut was a terrible tragedy and all countries are feel sorry.
This will paralyze the Lebanon economy, even though the spread of the corona virus there also cannot be resolved. And It's
actually dangerous is the effect of the explosion, the air is contaminated by dangerous chemicals. Therefore the residents of
Beirut for the next few weeks, must be at home to avoid breathing contaminated air.

This is a tragic event, and yet another example of how troubled countries can experience calamity after calamity. Lebanon suffers through being part of an unstable region, there was the seemingly endless civil war, and the economy was at breaking point even before CV19 hit. Now, as well as a failing economy and the pandemic, we have this explosion. People are focusing on the toll of the dead and injured, but this is only the short term effect. There will I'd imagine now be huge numbers of newly homeless people, to couple with the fact that this explosion was at the huge grain silo... so it's devastated the food supply, too, as well as (with no grain silo) the capability to store new incoming food. You couldn't really imagine a worse confluence of negative factors. The country will be in desperate need of aid from other nations - just at the exact same time that these nations are themselves struggling.

Unfortunately, I think it will get worse for the people of Lebanon. I really hope that other countries come together to assist here. We are all people irrespective of nation.

I also agree that the cause of the great explosion could be due to the ammonium nitrate that was in the warehouses of that place.
The explosion caused a crater that has a radius of 70 meters, as shown by these images in this tweet.
Lebanon needs help and our prayers because of the economic potential that Beirut offeres to the country.

That surely sucks but there is no connection between the Two.
2020 sure sucks but let's not speculate the worse yet

Also, regardless of what the "Orange Guy" Says, it wasn't an attack but really bad management of Explosive material

2020 has not been good to most of us, there had been a lot of tragedy, wildfires, pandemic, and now the explosion of Lebanon. The damage done by the explosion is really devastating, it's not just the properties but the lives and fear that this had brought. This is a really difficult time for Lebanon, not just the threat of explosion, but also them being exposed to the virus since most people had lost their home.

Let's pray for Lebanon and everybody else for us to be safe until the end of the year. And let's hope that no other catastrophe will occur.

2020 will be a very sad year for many people, global economic crisis because pandemic a couple countries is already in a recession stage and there is prediction of depression means that there will be a worse possibility happen.
When I saw the video of the big explosion in the Beirut I just thought people there face more tough life, and now the Lebanese government will have more and more difficulties in being able to restore the condition of their country, other countries must immediately to help.
There is a lot of speculation about what happened in Beirut but it would be wise not to share news that have not been confirmed the truth.

2020 is a year that will be remembered by the whole world because of the various disaster that have occurred. The most recent being Lebanon, the explosion shocked everyone because it was as powerful as a nuclear explosion.

Indeed, I also read a lot of news related to the Explosion in Lebanon. There has been much speculation that this explosion had something to do with other countries. But until now, investigation are continuing and hopefully with this incident Lebanon will be better at improving the safety of chemical storage.
