Two large explosions rocked the Lebanese capital of Beirut on Tuesday evening local time, shattering windows in surrounding neighborhoods for miles, destroying nearby buildings and wounding thousands of people.

At least 78 people have been killed and nearly 4,000 injured, according to Reuters. The Lebanese Red Cross said that the number of victims could reach 100, “and some victims are still under the rubble.”

Lebanese Prime Minister Hassan Diab said the explosion was caused by an estimated 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate left unsecured in a warehouse, NBC News reported. Residents posted graphic photos and videos on social media showing a mushroom-like cloud and enormous smoke plumes rising above the city from Beirut’s port area.

Microbiologists from the California Institute of Technology (or Caltech) accidentally discovered the bacteria after performing unrelated experiments using a chalk-like type of manganese, a commonly found chemical element. Dr Jared Leadbetter, professor of environmental microbiology at Caltech in Pasadena, left a glass jar covered with manganese to soak in tap water in his office sink. (read more...)
