Yep that was a pretty big one. Hate it for the people around the area that were killed or hurt. But from living in the Middle East for a few years, seems like normal behavior.

Unfortunately Lebanon has a long history of bombings! (3) Marines who were my classmates from H/S were killed in the 1983 barracks bombing in Beruit.

In April 1947, a ship loaded with ammonium nitrate exploded in Texas City, Texas. somewhere between 400 to 600 people were killed. I believe this is, to this day, the most tragic industrial disaster in the US.
