So sad.
The blast was felt all the way in Cyprus, which is crazy. And it broke the windows of buildings 15km away. Or at least that's what I heard

Unfortunately the death toll is very likely to rise as time goes on. Many people are missing.
Just awful.

I just hope this wont attract copycats... Given ports have been hit by the corona virus in their trade, there may well be hoards of stuff that is very dangerous just sitting around...

Nahh. Wouldn't normally really agree with this, but given that humans are able to do anything (especially for money) I have to agree.

Well the ports around the world are filled up, China has big issues seeing as they post the most stuff out but were forced to stop for a while. Ports don't have the best security when it comes to terrorist targets.
