The big bang occurred on Tuesday (4th) in the port area of Lebanon's capital Brurt. The orange -like cloud of ammonium nitrate at the scene became international headlines and spread all over the world.It is reported that the explosion is caused by the welding work in the warehouse, and then the government also vowed to hold the responsibility and ask the military to place a house arrest of all officials involved.The people will not stop there.
As of Thursday (6th), at least 135 deaths and more than 5,000 people were injured in the Big Bang at the Port of Berut.It is subject to power outage and hospital damage, and believes that the number of deaths and injuries has not been seen.According to the German Earth Science Research Center (GFZ), it is estimated that the scale of the explosion is equivalent to a magnitude 3.5 earthquake, which makes the regions of nearby areas, as many as 25 to 300,000 people are homeless, which is equivalent to 10 % of the urban population.As high as $ 3 billion.The more credible cause should be that the head of the General Administration of Security, Abbas Ibrahim, pointed out that the explosion was caused by ammonium nitrate stored in the number of on -site 2750 tons.
Not only can ammonium nitrate can be used to make chemical fertilizers, but also one of the raw materials of bombs, but what is the concept of 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate?In the Oklahoma explosion in 1995, White Supreme Timothy McVeight was placed in the federal building with only two tons of bombs synthesized by chemicals such as ammonium nitrate.The surplus bracket has damaged buildings in 16 streets.Therefore, the situation in Lebanon is like a more than 1,000 McVie bombs detonated at the same time, and its power is definitely the level of disaster.
The authorities stored more than 2,000 tons of explosives in the warehouse in the center of Beirut for more than six years. It seems that it is inappropriate.According to local unofficial investigations, this batch of ammonium nitrate was derived from a cargo ship hanging from the Moldova flag in 2013. After the authorities were repatriated to all crew, they decided to remove the goods to the port of the port to stay for the auction to be auctioned.And/or appropriate disposal.If the big bang is caused by the negligence or corruption of frontline officials, future investigations may be able to reasonable causes and consequences to find out personal responsibilities that directly cause accidents, such as who ignores security guidance and poor supervision.However, it is not easy to pursue traceability and unlock the system behind personal responsibilities.
Jack of State Governance
Like Lebanon Foreign Minister Nassif Hitti warned when he resigned on Monday that Lebanon was sliding towards the road of failure.Even the front -line personnel who check or accept bribes should bear legal responsibility and how to innovate a long -term rotten governance system is the key to Lebanon's urgent processing.Since the Civil War of Lebanon in 1990 was officially concluded, although the Taif Agreement Agreement was signed on the surface, although it was shared political power on the surface, it was still a peace treaty for sectarian division and their respective politics.The party and sponsorship network belong to the economic skirt relationship is rooted in every corner of society, and corruption is rampant.However, how the Lebanon government settled the resentment of the people and avoided the repeat of civil war. It is still a dizzy problem.
Excluding the trauma of the Big Bang, the country's currency lira has plummeted nearly 90 % since September last year. Economic issues such as inflation, unemployment, and disparity between the rich and the poor have been out of control.Coupled with the wave of anti -government demonstrations that broke out at the end of last year, even if the new crown epidemic rebounded, the city had not yet calmed down.A big bang is afraid of the microcosm of this country's governance. The situation is like the disaster of the Cocked Nobel Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine in the last century. Although it is only local officials with a low official position, the authorities refuse to fundamentally reflect on the system of the system.The lack of the governance style of self -deception will spread the arrogance and ignorance of the main officials.This is enough to destroy the culprit of the entire country.
