Ezekiel 27

Ezekiel 27:35
'All the inhabitants of the coastlands
Are appalled at you,
And their kings are horribly afraid;
They are troubled in countenance.
Why are the coastlanders appalled?  Was it because of what was left of Tyre after its fall?  Or was it something about how that fall was carried out?

My guess is that it was perhaps both.  The kings of the area are afraid because of the power necessary to destroy Tyre, which had been considered impregnable.  They are troubled, because someone that powerful, and who destroyed it as utterly as they did, was a threat to the entire region.
