The world came to a standstill yesterday after another catastrophe occurred in the Middle-East country of Lebanon.
An explosion occurred and this has affected over 4,000 people with some losing their lives in the process. Many thought it was a nuclear explosion, however, it has been revealed to be something else.
Per reports we have sighted, the explosion came as a result of a welder work that was going on in the vicinity of the explosion.
It was revealed that there was a highly explosive sodium nitrate that was confiscated from a ship by Lebanese authorities close to where the welding work was being done.
It was revealed that the substance had been stored in the warehouse for six years and per what the security sources are saying, the welder’s initial fire ignited the chemicals and this caused the blast.
The incident saw the destruction of buildings and as we speak over 100 people have died in the blast with several others sustaining various degrees of injuries.
Lebanon’s President, President Michel Aoun has now declared a state of emergency for Beirut for the next two weeks. He has also indicated that anyone responsible for the calamity will not be spared.
