Re: Holy krap, the explosion in Beirut port.

Last I heard it was "confiscated high explosives" that went off.  Reports of 50 killed, more than 2700 wounded.  Call has gone out for blood and all ambulances across the country.  The explosion was felt in Crete.

What is good for the goose today will also be good for the gander tomorrow.

I read a description of people seeing a mushroom cloud.

Re: Holy krap, the explosion in Beirut port.

I just can't take this year anymore.  I am about to go spend the rest of my evening on my knees in prayer and then under the covers in bed.  My heart goes out to them, you, and everyone suffering and struggling tonight.  Life is just not supposed to be this hard.  Heart

@alliswell   This is a Russian satirical cartoon from 1953.  The only person served here is "War".

 

It took me a bit to find it. 

 

Where did you find it?

@alliswell   Ok I meant it took me a bit to find the picture.  I had to reverse the writing on his back from Russian to English and then it came up.

I read it was a fireworks factory.  If you watch it make sure the volume is not up as far as it can go.

 

It was just smoke at first and went it blew I jump a foot because my sound was up.

 

I haven't heard anything about total injuries or deaths.


I just saw on my newsfeed that CNN is reporting the deaths are up to 73 now. 😢😢. My heart is broken for all of this! 💔💔
