Tianjin, China this evening, reportedly a container ship loaded with explosives

Keep watching the first video: it doesn't start out all that dramatic, but wait for the shockwave a few seconds later...

You'd have to think so, yes. Can't imagine something going off on that scale without there being a fairly significant number of fatalities. Looks devastating.

My first reaction was, "Oooh, y'fvcker." Note entirely sure how deal with that

Reminiscent of Halifax, Nova Scotia, 1917, when a ship full of explosives blew up, killing 2,000+ and injuring 9,000.

I know how this explosion happened. The Chinese bloke was told to go to the ship and organise the supplies. Now, what you can't see or hear is straight after the explosion the Chinese chappie shouts "SUPPLIES SUPPLIES!"


Too soon?

Texas City, Texas (1947) was another bad one.

Mankind experimenting and using stuff to better himself and move forward has always been a risky business which has borne fruit, but at a cost.

That must have been filmed from a mile away, and that was too close. It will have an impact on thousands of people.
