Two years on from the explosion at Beirut’s port, no one powerful has been held to account
wrought in the east. It left them almost unrecognisable, an iconic image of that day, a drooping monolith that resembled a cake melted by too long in the sun.
As ever in Lebanon, the state did nothing. Entropy won out. Last month the silos started to burn: grain trapped inside for two years and fermented in summer heat caught fire. As the anniversary neared, residents who survived the explosion were made to relive their trauma, watching as smoke again billowed over the port. On July 31st, four of the silos collapsed. Engineers say more will follow. Experts worry this will spew a plume of fungus-laden dust over the city.
