I would have backed away much more quickly after the first one. That was a giant fireball.

And now there is this one. I don't know if the others were NSFW because of language, however this one is. It's also one of the best ones (except for being vertical). Their amusement slowly turns to horror.

That is the Tianjin Explosion. The chemicals that caused the explosion are "unknown." I call BS, no one wants to admit to housing something that explosive next to mass population.

A huge explosion is all we know. I don't know if the Chinese government will ever release what the chemical was.

As you might have seen, a CNN reporter got mobbed by security people to stop them from filming. Perhaps the U.S. government might have more of an idea of what was stored there. Whether they let us know or not is also a good question
