Scene of Beirut tragedy

On August 4, 2020 a large amount of ammonium nitrate exploded at the Port of Beirut, causing at least 218 deaths, 7,000 injuries and $15 billion in property damage and leaving an estimated 300,000 people homeless.

Tim took this from a speeding SUV on his way to a meeting.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

You don't think about that when you see those reports on the news, but when you see the reality it must be horrible I think, BV

Tim got a great shot to show the devastation and this country is in dire straights for sure. V

With the corrupt politicians leading the country this is not going to change quickly... V*

It seems not much has changed. Ruines still standing.
