520 |a On October 23, 1983, the U.S. barracks of the multinational force at Lebanon's Beirut International Airport was destroyed by 5,400 kilograms of TNT packed into a yellow Mercedes Benz truck. The explosion was described as the largest non-nuclear blast ever deliberately detonated. The truck had made it to the barracks by replacing a hijacked water delivery vehicle. Rules of engagement meant that sentries didn't even have time to load their weapons before the truck had run over a wire barricade and entered the lobby of the building, where the driver detonated his cargo. Heavy fog was a significant factor in the UK's third worst rail crash to date. At about 6:20 pm on the evening of Wednesday, December 4, 1957, the extremely poor visibility had already seriously disrupted train services before the delayed Cannon Street to Ramsgate Express missed two signals and plowed into the rear of the stationary ten coach electric train en route from Charing Cross to Hayes.
