Is this just another example of government negligence and dysfunction? Lebanon can't sustain like this.

So I think this text was added to the BBC link I posted above just recently:
The cause of the explosion is still not known, but some reports suggest it may have been an accident. Lebanon's National News Agency reported a fire breaking out at what it called an explosives depot at the port. So they were probably storing weapons there. None of the footage makes it look like it was struck from the outside, so this is probably a case of either negligence or sabotage. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

The Lebanese Interior Minister has said that ammonium nitrate was stored in the port, which is what caused the explosion, according to local reports. Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr reporting from Beirut said the head of General Security, General Abbas Ibrahim, visited the site of the explosion and said it appears the explosion was caused by highly explosive material that was stored in a warehouse. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
