Beirut (AP) – During the 1975-90 civil war, Gasson Hazruti spent most of his life working in the port of Beirut, Silos, exporting grain to feed the country.

Decades later, he perished under the same silos, their high cement structure due to the force of the August 4 port explosion., 2,750 tons of improperly stored ammonium nitrate burned, making it one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history.

In a terrible moment, The explosion of power shattered Beirut. More than two hundred people died and the survivors of the horror and devastation were wounded..

Eli, Hazruti’s son, demands justice from his father, and hopes that Silos will remain a “sign of shame” and remind many Lebanese people of the corruption and neglect of the politicians responsible for the tragedy.

A study commissioned by the government in the aftermath of the tragedy says the 50-year-old Silos could collapse and be demolished at any moment, sparking an emotional debate among city residents about how to preserve memories of the disaster.

In Lebanon, where a culture of punishment has existed for a long time, those behind violent attacks, bombings and murders have rarely been brought to justice, and the debate is questionable.

Silo Jaffar believes the government should eliminate Silos and move forward as if nothing had happened. “It’s a reminder of what they did,” said Jaffer, an architect who destroyed the apartment overlooking Silos in the blast.

“I never wanted to lose my temper,” she said.

Lebanese Prime Minister Hassan Daib has resigned in the wake of rising anger following the devastating bombings.“Corruption in the country is bigger than the state,” he said.

The impact of the 48-meter-tall giant silos blast was largely absorbed, damaging or completely destroying thousands of buildings in the western part of the city..

The investigation into how such large quantities of hazardous chemicals have been badly stored under the Port Authority’s nose for years has drawn broad political leadership. Rights groups and families are concerned that this is a ploy to protect senior officials, and none of them have yet been detained or charged with any wrongdoing.

For more than four months, rotten wheat has been leaking from the rotten but still standing silos, storing up to 85% of Lebanon’s grain. Pigeons and rats found the house among the rubble.

Emmanuel Durand, a French civil engineer who volunteered for a government-appointed team of experts, spent weeks using a laser scanner to collect digital data to analyze the structure of the silos after the explosion.

Although they may seem structural from a distance, the silos tilt and break their base, causing vertical cracks in two of them. Durant said it could not be calculated at any time.

“Silos are very strong as long as they have the same integrity as eggs,” Durand said. “Now if the egg shell breaks slightly, it will be very fragile and you will have no trouble crushing the egg.”

Durand said the military plans to demolish the silos with tools that break concrete and rebar. Kuwait, which funded the construction of the silos in the 1970s, promised to contribute to their reconstruction.

Fadi Abboud, a former tourism minister and member of the Free Patriotic Movement, the largest Christian party, came up with a proposal to turn the port and silos into a “tourist attraction”, a site opposed to the Roman ruins of Balbec.

The families of the victims protested, saying it was a heartless commercialization of the site where several people had died.

“In their dreams!” Gilbert Karan has vowed that his 27-year-old fianc, firefighter Sahar Fares, died in the blaze shortly before the blast. “They will not benefit the martyrs.”

Jonathan Dagger, a journalist with Megaphone, an independent online media platform, said party leader Jebran Bass had suggested that the blast could turn Lebanon’s money into a major opportunity to gain international support. Forged government.

“These words are not an accident,” Dagger said, minimizing the tragedy.

There are concerns that the port bombing could be treated in the same way as Lebanon’s 15 years of civil war.

War is not taught in school books. There is no memorial to the 17,000 people who went missing from the war. A general amnesty allowed warlords and military leaders to dominate the country’s post-war politics. After the war, the city of Beirut was rapidly rebuilt, a high-profile corporate hub rising from the rubble and devastation.

Architect Jaffer said the pushback against the demolition of the silos was a similar situation based on the concept of “memory loss” – if you haven’t seen it happen – the engineering blast on August 4th.

Lebanese architect Carlos Moubarak says that these silos should remain in place, and that their size is an echo of the Big Bang forever.

“There’s something very strong about silos,” he said. “They are now part of the collective memory of the people.”

Symbols has been designed as a focal point, a memorial park at the site with a reminder ring in the pit, a museum and a green space. He said the aim was to show solidarity among Lebanese people in the aftermath of the bombing and to honor the victims and survivors. He is now trying to find ways to finance it.

Eli Hazruti’s father and grandfather both worked in Silos from the time they were built.

Father Gasson, 59, was called home 40 minutes before the blast. He told his wife that a new grain ship would stay there. Asked to send his favorite pillows and bedsheets to work on an unplanned night.

14 days later his remains were found under the silos.

Silos should “continue to witness corruption, so let’s learn,” Hazruti said. “Something has to change.”
