I haven't been able to sleep all night.
I've been reading about it and watching videos - some where the people filming them obviously died. I cried a little bit. What a fucking terrible tragedy.

Here's a compilation of some, the guy filming the first video is almost certainly dead, it was streamed live. He was way too close to the blast range and you can see the fences in front of him pretty much disintegrating right before it cuts to the next video.
It was just a tragic, terrible accident. There was a petrol station right by a chemical plant, petrol station caught fire, exploded, and well, you can see what happened next. The worst thing is that the first responders and survivors are likely to suffer a bit of a chemical fallout. People are already getting sick because toxic chemicals have been released, and thinking back to 9/11 and how many people developed cancer over the years...it's not a good long term situation for those people.
edit:
and the numbers of injuries and deaths will most certainly rise. They're estimating much much more, but it happened pretty late at night, the whole area is toxic and people likely got literally vaporized. This is really gonna get a lot worse when they start sorting things out.

that kind of blast looked like a small nuclear explosion tbh. i can't imagine what it was like to be looking and feelling any of that.
have you managed to come across the cause? i know it was several tons of force. and originated in some chemical warehouse, but what originally caused it?Quote:

I think it was the petrol/gas station explosion - it was just to close in proximity to the chemical factory. Idk tho, I'd have to do more googling to be sure. Seems like a really bad idea to put a gas station next to a chemical plant. And it wasn't Tianjin itself, which has like 17 million people, it was in a seperate city within the Tianjin metro.
If it had been in Tianjin, we would be seeing thousands and thousands dead, easily 10,000+.

And this is apparently a fraction of the strength of the bombs we dropped on Japan...to put nuclear war in perspective.

yeah. i was just thinking how it compared to those explosions. this was measured in tons. those nukes were in the double digit megaton range right? insane.
