Proper brown pants! Apparently loads have died, including firefighters and people at ground zero.

Good thing it wasn't in Japan, might have brought back some bad memorys for some of the older generation.

Scary and cool in equal measure! (from the distance of the person filming, anyway)

The Chinese earthquake monitoring service is saying the second explosion was equivalent to 27 TONNES of TNT!

Apparently the warehouse was storing large quantities of high-explosives, Its mental that a company was allowed to store explosives so close to a large residential area.

3 figures is nothing for the size of the explosion! The pictures are quite incredible of the damage its done and the distance of it!

Why are all the cars fucked up like something has landed on them. Roof and panels all stoved right in yet don't look like they have been rolled.

It is the heat of the fire or the energy of the blast?


Being China, they will play down the severity of the whole incident to the world!

Pressure differentials... The air inside is at a lower pressure than the 'blast' air out side hence why the windows blow in and the roofs look flat, there's a virtual vacuum formed inside.
