7:07Now PlayingBeirut’s citizens are mourning the deaths of their friends and family. Ana Kasparian and John Iadarola discuss on The Young Turks. Keep Hope (and TYT) Alive

"Beirut’s residents are in shock and mourning after an enormous explosion at the city’s port ripped through the Lebanese capital, killing at least 135 people, injuring more than 4,000 and displacing some 300,000, according to emergency services. Hospitals are overwhelmed, with some too damaged by the blast to operate.
The explosion, which blew out windows and destroyed property for miles around, has been initially blamed on 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate stored in an unsecured warehouse, without safety measures, since 2014 at Beirut’s cargo port. The New York Times, citing public records, reported that Lebanese officials knew about the risks for several years but did not act on them.
The government subsequently announced an investigation to determine within five days the exact cause of the explosion and “who was responsible.”
