Coronavirus

I’m confused bruv, saw many shots of desolation but smoke in the background. Not in the country now so don’t get all the up to the minute jazz. What’s it all about?

 

I was as much shocked how much new development had taken place in Beirut. Sadly I always had memories of it being a war torn place. Sad something like this has happened in more peaceful times.

 

Ginge, massive explosion in Beirut. Look back at a few tweets i had posted up.

 

Think you’re right, would explain why there is a distinct lack of stuff burning, yes flames but an explosion that size would surely have left more fires burning

 

Maybe I’m being idealistic but I honestly thought this **** had finished. Sad for the loss of life but sadder for the perpetrators frame of mind.

 

It's an accident I believe

 

I think people automatically tie Beirut with war, but it looks quite the opposite now, many modern developments, we have to remember that factory is in an old industrial area.

 

Sorry bro, had been out all day for hospital stuff but I’m really saddened to see people see this as an end game.

 

Incoming report from BBC. Link in previous post.

A large blast has hit the Lebanese capital, Beirut, causing widespread damage and injuring many people, officials say.

It is not yet clear what caused the explosion in the port area of the city. Video posted online showed a large mushroom cloud and destroyed buildings.

Hospitals are said to be overwhelmed by casualties.

It comes at a sensitive time with the country's economic collapse reigniting old tensions.

Tensions are also high ahead of the verdict in a trial over the killing of ex-PM Rafik Hariri in 2005. A UN tribunal is due to issue its verdict in the trial of four suspects in the murder by car bomb of Hariri on Friday.
Lebanon's health minister, Hamad Hasan, has spoken of many injuries and extensive damage.

Reuters news agency quotes sources as saying 10 bodies have been pulled from the wreckage.

The cause of the explosion is still not known, but some reports suggest it may have been an accident. Lebanon's National News Agency reported a fire breaking out at what it called an explosives depot at the port.

 

You been drinking bro?

 

Any oil there?

Then that's a negative on that mission sir!

 

You'll get used to Ginge, he's in Thailand and is likely to be pissed this time of day

 

It was water vapour, there’s another video of it from the water side that clearly shows it.

Bobble heads on social media are calling it nuclear though lol.

Fireworks factory apparently.

 

Lol no, I had two Chang’s on a stop from Saraburi and believe me if you’ve ever done that in the night a man deserves a beer or two. (But they were when I got on home territory.

 

Well, we've shown him pictures. We've sent it in text.

He's on his own from here. There's not much more we can do.

 

I resent that comment, apart from hospital duties I have little else to do bar bake bread... anybody have three fishes like?

 

Get in your box you don’t lad, you pony Leeds boys are in our pockets having never won a cup game of any description against us.

Ps. Love you really.​

 

See that would be my biggest worry leaving the UK, hospitals; consultants, doctors, medication! I suppose you went out their before all the health stuff started kicking in.

 

There's clearly fireworks in there....



....among 'other things'.
