“It was like Beirut”
Posted on March 29th, 2009 6 comments
Here’s my second “Looks Like Beirut Award” in as many days. Mr. Andy Ward, I give you the floor:
“I was up at about 1.50am to 2pm and I smelt it. I looked out the window and saw the reflection in the shop window opposite. I thought it was the room below that was on fire.
“I did the alarm and called the fire brigade. We came down at the back of the building thinking we could get out through the archway, but the cars were on fire, so we had to go through the pub.
“Tyres were going off, it was a bit like Beirut.”
I’m sorry Andy but that’s nothing like Beirut. We make sure to remove the tyres off the cars before we set them on fire.
A Lebanese protestor carries tires to feed the fire during a demonstration for wage increases in Beirut on May 7, 2008.

“….demonstration for wage increases in Beirut on May 7, 2008″
Are you kidding me, you’re describing the attacks on Beirut and the Mountains as a demonstration for wage increase? Correct me if I’m wrong, but women and children don’t usually get killed by people demonstrating for wage increases.

Nona, since this image is directly taken from Getty Images, I decided to use the caption they provided. I don’t take responsibility for the photo or caption accompanying it.

In the interest of unadulterated disclosure, here’s the full caption that ran with that photograph, as Getty distributed it: “A Lebanese protestor carries tires to feed the fire during a demonstration for wage increases in Beirut on May 7, 2008. Anti-riot police and the army were out in full force throughout the capital as protesters blocked roads and burned tires to press their demands for wage increases amid a tense political situation.
