You’re definitely aware of “I am Alive” app which helps Lebanese people let their loved ones know they’re safe by sending a tweet saying “I am still alive! #Lebanon #Latestbombing” through a single tap every time there’s an explosion.

Just two days ago, Sandra Hassan and Myra El Mir, the developers of this satiric app, released the VIP version of it intended for politicians to help them automatically issue condemnation statements when a bombing occurs!

Overwhelmed by the number of bombings in Lebanon? Can’t keep up with the demands to issue statements to the public?
Now you can easily tweet your reactions to yet another bombing in Lebanon.

No need to bother your communication crew with trying to come up with a new reaction to the security related events, heck you can just fire them all. This app does it all for you!

The responses provided for you have been designed by our team of highly specialized political analysts who have scourged over the stream of condemnations that have already been issued and synthesized the most effective and up to date reaction statements just for you.

It’s a fast and reliable tool. And what’s more; you can tag one of your friends in your tweet!

And if there’s a statement you think should be added to the repertoire, we’re waiting to hear from you. Just tweet at us @lebvip

Short documentary of 1983 Beirut marine barracks bombing

On a day like this 30 years ago, a suicide bomber in a hijacked truck managed to bypass the barriers around the barracks and smashed right into the lobby of the main building before detonating his explosives.

The explosion was so big that it collapsed the building into rubble and killed 305 servicemen.

The video above is a short documentary told by two marine veterans who were serving in Beirut at that time, with footage and photos of the bombing.

Yesterday’s Rouweis bombing

rouweis explosionWith all the bombings we’ve seen in Lebanon, I was rarely pessimistic about the situation in the country, but witnessing suicide bombers carrying out attacks in Beirut is quite worrying now, so let’s just pray the city won’t turn into another Baghdad!

May all the fallen martyrs rest in peace.
