The explosion in Beirut was 1/5 the size of the Hiroshima bomb, half the city wiped out, 300k+ homeless and no one knows yet how many injured/dead. It’s just incomprehensible.

@yodaberg I’ve watched the footage multiple times. It’s devastating 💔😓The aftermath physical, psychological, emotional will be felt for years to come. Thinking of those impacted near and far.

@yodaberg It doesn't change this being a massive disaster, but I think it's more like 1/30, since ammonium nitrate by itself is ~0.15 TNT equivalent as an explosive.

@yodaberg And here we are with media and RW politicians likening our situation to third world and worse...for all that we endure at the moment, this puts things into perspective.

@yodaberg @DrSteveRobson It's horrible to watch. At first I didn't couldn't believe it. What a time the people of Beirut are going through. May they find the strength and courage to keep going 💗🙏🏾🦋

@yodaberg @NewtonMark How is this incomprehensible exactly? Is this not a well known industrial safety problem. Or is there another aspect of this that is incomprehensible that in a modern civilization our industrial processes can cause great damage if we don’t take due care. think Deepwater Horizon.

@yodaberg and perhaps equally devastating, its timing in amongst everything else Lebanon (and the world) is enduring, making the rebuild so much tougher

@yodaberg @MadFckingWitch Omg...I cannot empathise, I haven’t experienced this. I can only feel those feelings of shock. Disbelief. And try to imagine if that was me there, on that day. So incomprehensibly awful.
