October 23, 1983: Beirut and many Marines dead
US presidents can not control what happens in other countries. Nevertheless, they have to react to them or get that “famous 3 am phone call” about this crisis or that.
On this day in 1983, Pres Reagan was getting ready for reelection and talking about the economic recovery underway.
However, he had to deal with a major terrorist attack in Beirut:
“On this day, a suicide bomber drives a truck filled with 2,000 pounds of explosives into a U.S. Marine Corps barracks at the Beirut International Airport.
The explosion killed 220 Marines, 18 sailors and three soldiers.
A few minutes after that bomb went off, a second bomber drove into the basement of the nearby French paratroopers’ barracks, killing 58 more people.
Four months after the bombing, American forces left Lebanon without retaliating.”
It was a terrible week for President Reagan and one of the early signs of terrorism.
