Israel anyone?
We were talking about this in the office today. I can totally see how this could be simply bureaucratic issue: you have all this stuff that's kind of in bureaucratic limbo, no one really wants to deal with it, there are some legal questions, but at the same time it might be useful somehow. I could either sell it as fertilizer, or as ANFO components for my Hez friends. #win either way.
Then, over time, we kind of forget about it, because hey it's Lebanon and yeah, we have issues. Then, one day, boom.
Nail on the head sir.
Tried to donate some $$ to Lebanese Red Cross, as i don't trust most international aid agencies. Both times my bank rejected the transfer.
Anybody know a reliable charity org to send relief funds to in Beirut?

I disagree that this is a state actor caused event. This is an unfortunate accident; I expect other state actors to try to take advantage of the situation for influence (read —> control).

The latter link is a US NGO that supports our national interests overseas. Spirit of America was helpful during my time there.

China to prioritize safety inspections of ports after Beirut blast

"Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said at a press conference on Wednesday that China would like to offer help to Lebanon to properly handle the incident and realize national development."
China jumped on the opportunity...

"Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said at a press conference on Wednesday that China would like to offer help to Lebanon to properly handle the incident and realize national development."
China jumped on the opportunity...
Chinese Embassy official Yu Be Cha said, “At this troubling time, the awesome majesty of China will stand together with the people of Lebanon to provide succor, bail out the Banque de Liban & build a glorious port, the likes of which the world has never seen, apart from Hambantota. We come in peace to subjugate the barbarians in their time of greatest need.”
Build a new port, huh? The Chinese have done this for years in Africa, ultimately owning the port.
It looks like a good opportunity for them.
"Belt and Road" is going to choke off the entire developing world.
"...and if you look REALLY closely, you can see "made in Israel" on the missile!" /s
Yeah, only 300 other camera views of the blast, some of them pretty close, hundreds of eye witnesses and this was the only one in IR/Thermal that picked up the slow moving projectile...
