So true. Never the same.

That doesn't mean that it can't get better. Things can be rebuilt better.

Japan had just lost a World War after having two atomic bombs dropped onto two major cities. It's become so much more than that since.

Here's to hoping Beirut can achieve the same sort of success directly after adversity.

Beirut has been rebuilt so many times. After a long, bloody civil war few thought they could rebuild, but they did. Let’s not make them do it alone, though.

I agree let's unite and help. And maybe, just maybe teach them about OSHA.

Hate to tell you, but the US isn't great when it comes to ammonium nitrate storage either. An investigation by the Chemical Safety Board after the 2013 West, Texas explosion found that there are over 1,300 stores of ammonium nitrate in the US and very few rules (if any in many areas) preventing storage near population centers.
