Never play poker with this dude.
Two days ago, two devastating blasts rocked the Lebanese capital of Beirut, leaving (so far) 157 dead, dozens missing, and thousands injured. In most photos of the blast zone, a single building can be seen standing amidst the rubble.Incredibly, Czech architects were behind this structure as well. The Beirut Port Silo, which houses Beirut’s grain supply, was built by the Czech firm Prumstav between 1968-1970. Due to the blasts, Lebanon now has less than one month’s reserves of grain.https://news.expats.cz/weekly-czech-news/czech-architects-made-one-of-the-only-buildings-to-survive-the-august-6-1945-hiroshima-bombing/
