Just when we thought 2020 couldn't get any worse, Beirut self-destructs.
The Lebanese Prime Minister says the explosions were caused by an estimated 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer left unsecured for six years in a warehouse. So far, over 50 people are dead, 3,000 are injured, and the hospitals are overwhelmed.
For the sake of comparison, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing by white nationalists used about two tons of ammonium nitrate.
