After delivering 50 years of uninterrupted service, on August 4, 2020, they would absorb a good amount of the shockwaves that were the result of a massive explosion at Beirut&#8217;s Port. The image of the crumbling silos became a symbol for that tragic day. After the explosion, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/l\/63843\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">repeated fires would plague the silos<\/a>, which eventually led to one of their columns crumbling fifty-two years after their construction &#8211; on July 31, 2022.     <figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
