Trump called it an attack, because he's literally an idiot and can't wait for actual investigations to be completed. So far nobody else indicates that to be the case. Just an awful accident.

At first the media was trying to link the Hariri case to it, but it quickly became evident that it was an accident, supposedly the warehouse housed dangerous amounts of ammonium nitrate etc, heard reports of fireworks too
A number of Beirut port officials are being placed under house arrest pending an investigation into Tuesday's huge explosion, Lebanon's government says.
estimates are that it was about 1500mt of tnt equivalent. which is about 1/10th the size of the hiroshima bomb, and 100x more powerful than the MOAB bomb which is the largest non nuclear bomb ever made. whats absolutely unreal is that it is only half the size of the halifax harbor explosion of 1917.
aside from the horrendous tragedy of the lives lost and injured, it is incredible to see a blast this big captured by so many cameras. the force coming at you at that speed is unbelievable and horrifying.
Not necessarily. I imagine most of that area is/was sitting over the water on pilings in order to allow enough depth for ships to dock up close. Could be wrong, but that's my guess. Still incredible damage.

now Lebanon is asking for international funding help after their piece of shit government would store something like that inside a city.
they need to sign they're entire country over to a higher state since there's this many fuck up's..
its crazy there's no riots or anything happening,someone had to sign this off storing such a stupid amount of dangerous materials thinking its all dandy & okay.

Wonder if they'll accept aid from Israel seeing as how piratically all their other neighbors are dealing with their own shit as well.

Talk about being charitable like that WE charity scandal.
Five million dollars is already being pledged by our PM for Lebanon???
Our country is facing a huge government deficit of over $343 billion because of spending related to Covid 19. We cannot afford to give money away to other countries right now!
Does Trudeau think that money grows on trees??? This is our taxpayer dollars!

That's what friends are for.
Look at all the countries that donated to the US after hurricane Katrina. The friggin US who claims to be the greatest country in the world.
Australia pledged money. Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Greece, Algeria, France, UK, US, Netherlands, Czech, Poland, Italy, Iran, and fucking Israel are all sending different forms of aid.
If Canada had done nothing you would have sat there blaming Trudeau for being heartless.
