On the afternoon of August 4, 2020, an earth-shattering explosion occurred in Beirut, Lebanon, the street was overturned instantly, the building seemed to be made of paper, flying hundreds of meters away in one breath, the power of the explosion was shocking, the tragic situation at the scene was worrying, and even more chilling, just from this accident, more than 4,000 casualties have been counted, tens of thousands of people are homeless, don't rush to sigh ill-fated, today we will talk about the story behind this tragedy

Imagine that if you are about to go home, and suddenly there is a loud bang, the window is shattered, and the surroundings become dark, this is not just a moment in Beirut, but a real picture faced by many survivors, for whom the instant happiness turns into endless pain, and the former neighbors, friends, and colleagues become out of reach at this moment
Let's turn our attention to the core of this tragedy - the source of the explosion, you may have heard of the term "ammonium nitrate", in short, although this thing can be used in agriculture, but once it is not stored properly, it is like a time bomb, in this explosion, there are 2,750 tons of this explosive chemical hidden in the warehouse of the port of Beirut, this cargo was unloaded from a ship registered in Cyprus in 2014, but unexpectedly, it became a dangerous item that no one cared about

Think about it, what does it mean that this chemical has been sitting in the warehouse for 6 whole years without anyone taking care of it? It can't always be "we don't have money, please leave it alone", you know, science is clear, ammonium nitrate will explode in a humid and high temperature environment, which is equivalent to putting a bomb in our backyard, I can't imagine it, don't be careless at the beginning, deal with it, but you have heard of the words "serving the people", you must be able to guess how many deep black curtains may be hidden behind the ruthlessness and disregard of this batch of dangerous goods
Interestingly, today we also talked about a Taiwan company, which was once accused of having something to do with the storage and disposal of this batch of ammonium nitrate, but this company said: "This matter has nothing to do with me, this batch of goods has long been handed over to others in 2018," is it a dump pot of individual enterprises, or there are more responsibilities being transferred, it depends on the development of things, this kind of thing, is really funny enough, suddenly, everyone has become "the responsibility is not me"

Next, we have to dig into the truth of the incident, this explosion is not just an accident, it involves a long chain of responsibility, from a ship parked in the port, to the explosives hidden in the depths of several years, every link behind this may become the focus of accountability, if we seriously investigate, there must be questions about regulation, system and even corruption behind it, people always ask, what is the relationship between the government and enterprises? Is there a tacit understanding that "we know the roots, don't come to harass"? This kind of joke is not funny at all in the face of life
Not only companies and those authorities that directly control these dangerous goods, are they doing their due diligence and accountability? It is conceivable that there will be more investigations and more scrutiny in the future, and people should not only ask how Beirut will rebuild after the explosion, but also how to ensure that such a tragedy does not happen again

The black question mark like confusion can cause us to think deeply, we are sorry for those who died, and the memory of the dead should also trigger our thinking about the future: such a thing, rare in a century, but it does not mean that it will not be repeated, then we must strengthen the supervision and handling of dangerous goods, we must clearly understand that catastrophes often stem from subtle inaction, seize the time, it is everyone's responsibility, reflect on the past, in order to illuminate the future
I hope that this misfortune can be a safer start for tomorrow, and that those innocent souls can find peace on the other side of the stranger
