Beirut, Lebanon.

As some of you might have read, a powerful explosion rocked Beirut earlier. The blast was massive! Like - super massive!


Rumor has it, that the explosion was caused by old, confiscated explosive material, which somehow got unstable and exploded. Many dead and even more injured.

Naturally, when things like this happen in the Middle East, people are quick to make fun of it. I think that is absolutely abhorrent! It's no joking matter, guys.
