An accident is something that cannot be foreseen, where there is no
human agency responsible for what has taken place. The explosion in
Beirut on 4 August was not an accident. The highly flammable cargo was
held in a warehouse for over six years; this warehouse, in Beirut’s
port, abuts the residential neighbourhoods of Gemmayze and Karantina.
Over the past six years, customs officials – with clear political
affiliations – leaked reports about the danger. The authorities were
aware of the possibility of an explosion. They did nothing.
