       | On a personal note: I went to AUB in the late 00s when Lebanon
       | seemed to be on the up-swing. It's incredible that even when it's
       | not outside actors or inside divisions the country still can't
       | catch a break[2]. Pity the nation...

       | Rather than Beirut compared to a volcano it'd be good to known
       | how Bata compared to Beirut.
       | 
       | With the all the video coming out of Beirut it seems like a good
       | point of reference.

       | this type of data could be used to research other human-made or
       | cosmic effects - ala interferometry.
