The Five Most Common Types of Tweets You See after a Blast in Lebanon
The bomb goes off, the Tweets rush in. Think of it as our only way of keeping ourselves distracted from the thought that it could have been us – or our family members – caught in the midst of whatever the latest tragedy is.
Regardless, there’s definitely a couple of common themes that run through the Tweets you’ll see after a blast goes off in Lebanon:
1. Life goes on.
Meaning of life goes on!

5. R.I.P. Lebanon
Because let’s face it, if you’re not being pessimistic about the future of our country, it’s as if you’re not being patriotic.
