    Someone explain to me how the death toll is only 100 right now. Is it because the 10,000 closest bodies were vaporized on explosion?

    2750 tons of ammonium nitrate stored in the warehouse on the wharf blew up after the first fire. Timmy's OKC Ryder truck bomb was made with 2 tons of ammonium nitrate.

    Death toll is derived from actual count at the moment. I’m sure it will continue to rise as more are found...or never are seen again.

    I used to know a guy who's mother was from Lebanon and she regularly visited there. One time I asked him whether his mother would be safe there and he said there was nothing to worry about.

    About 40 years ago, I used to work with a guy from Beirut. He hated the Muslim radicals. He said Beirut was a safe, beautiful "garden" like place until they arrived. He said they destroyed the place and turned it into a war zone. He used to lament the change all the time. Said he would never go back again because it hurt too much to see what had become of the place. He loved the USA. He was older then and passed away 25 years ago. I always wished he had lived to see the renaissance the last decade or so and now this...

    I read an analysis somewhere on line, can't find it now. Concluded that no way Israel did this. Said Israel would have done it at night. The zero fucks given reason was why they wouldn't disguise it by doing it in the daytime.

    It was the Indians. They always said in the movies that Indians never attack at night.
