Beirut, is there some huge fire somewhere? The smell is unbearable, we have black particulate on every single surface in the house including our bodies & I can hear tons of sirens. Just don't know what it is or where it's coming from

Explosion at the Beirut office of lawyer Sakher al-Hashem, cause unknown, no injuries.
Hashem is representing several defendants in the #BeirutBlast case & takes on controversial cases like that of Lebanese official Michel Samaha who was jailed for planning terrorist attacks.

No, this was hours ago & I'm in zokak el blatt so pretty far

My mother (on Facetime) is saying all the roads are closed, so it's probably tires burning.

Yeah, most likely, I would just usually be able to at least see the smoke from the balcony...

My mother is just speculating. She refuses to get off the sofa and look.
Dad says there was a little fire in a building in Achrafieh, and other than that it's tires burning all over the place.

That's the only acceptable attitude right now honestly
