    This is the thing I’ve been thinking about a lot. I definitely wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere near that explosion, but aftermath sure doesn’t seem to line up with “500 people killed in hospital collapse caused by explosion”. I don’t even see a collapsed building in the panorama shot. Somebody’s lying their ass off, and I have no idea who it is.

      Based on the pictures in the article, there was definitely some damage to nearby buildings, particularly the roofs of the two buildings to the south. But “collapsed” seems to be sensationalism/clickbait. For that I would blame the journalists doing the reporting.
