Thats great but why are you taking pictures of dogs licking their balls?

The word from locals is it was a fireworks factory.
And next door was a warehouse storing Ammonia Nitrate for a fertilizer factory.
Knowing Lebanon. That is FAR the most likely cause.
10 dead 1,000’s injured all friends currently accounted for

Suspect more dead when they get through the wreckage… some reports suggesting they stored high explosive material confiscated a couple of decades ago?

Quite possible in a Port. Used to do Secure Destruction as part of my recycling work and stuff was seized goes through courts then they have to agree the budgets to dispose of.
Fertilizer/Fireworks wouldn’t get EU handling standards in a Nation that cannot provide Electricity nor Trash collections for their Citizens

Saying its ammonia nitrate, 2700 tons of it stored there for years.

Looks like that fertiliser went up like a rocket. It wasn’t actually a rocket. It just exploded like a bomb. But it wasn’t a bomb.

Thats sarcasm, poor but sarcasm all the same.

It’s also two similes. Not one, but two. Did you spot them?

I noticed the incorrect placement of full stops.

Really? In my post or Goat’s? And where were they?

You’re virtuous in coming to the rescue @Fowllyd, like a knight in shining armour.

Goats, could have been and should have been a flowing sentence, not some wanking full stop fest.

I really haven’t a clue what you mean. Can’t say I’d noticed anyone needing rescuing.

In which case you’re arguing with the style of the post, so there’s no incorrect placement of full stops at all.

That was overboard, that was a statement not a sentence. A wank one at that as well.

What was overboard? And why do you consider a statement and a sentence to be mutually exclusive? You do puzzle me at times you know.

It reads poorly, that’s all there is to it.
I’ve come across such ā€œsentencesā€ before and they cause no end of trouble.

So it’s just a matter of your personal preference then. There’s room for both Hemingway and Proust in this world.
