Re: Massive explosion on the news China!!! just now.

That biatch of an explosion in the vid was the large one of 2 that occured and was equivalent to 20 tonnes of tnt, now thats a beast of a firework :28:
 
If that was the shockwave at a mile away I can only guess there's going to be a lot of casualties, it looks like a very built-up area..
 
Youtube filling up with them and some closer where it shows the first still quite large explosion then this beast that knocks the person recording clean off their feet.

This is a copied report but how true it is is anyones guess - you know chinese whispers and all (no oun intended).


Gas station exploded that ignited two oil
tanks nearby the chemical warehouse where chemicals exploded, the
firefighters failed to put it out and a series of explosions triggered
by the chemicals in the container terminal, all
firefighters/police, people who watching nearby die on scene instantly.

The fact that chemical is concentrated in that area, people panic and
concerns the releasing of toxic gases after the explosion, many
evacuating caused road jam.

People from 10km away can feel the shockwave, windows shattered. The
Donghai Road station is destroyed. Hospitals are overloaded with
patients.

50 killed and maybe 700 injured is a full blown disaster. The dashcam footage toward the bottom of the Daily Mail article is quite something. The shockwave was enormous.

i have a feeling they only counted the firefighters/police etc that were killed, it is the only true figures they have for people there at the moment.

there will be too many dead to easily count and taking a headcount and finding out who is missing will take a long time
