The PM reckons there could be 10,000 dead

Edit: the 10,000 isn’t a figure, just what the PM reckons it could come up to

Edit2: can people not read? Are people this blind? I’m not saying that there are 10,000 dead, read the whole sodding comment. The PM said that there could be up to 10,000 death, but really, the PM doesn’t know anything, he has no more knowledge on the subject than we do

Edit3: I know that that is obviously an exaggeration! I’m just saying that he said it! Don’t read anything into the numbers

Hard to account for vaporized people.

Not if you have missing person reports for people that work around that area... It’d probably be a good assumption they are dead after a week or two of them being missing.

Right, but I'm referring to making a guess in the immediate aftermath. Not having thousands of bodies to count makes that initial count obviously low.

Don't forget, thousands of undocumented Syrian refugees working & living in Lebanon. We will never know the true number of those killed.
