Geoff Bennett:
Five years ago today, Beirut, Lebanon, sat shattered. One of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history had ripped apart its waterfront with a terrifying power that registered well up the Richter scale.
The blast, which many still refer to as the bomb, was not terrorism, nor was it war. It was caused by issues that have long plagued Lebanon for years and still do, municipal incompetence, government corruption, and a perceived indifference among local leaders.
Now, years later, as Leila Molana-Allen reports, the outlook for Beirut is, if anything, more dire.
