Looks bad.

Cannot figure out what happened.

Maybe they had recently hired some factory Health and Safety Inspector consultants from Texas.   :uhoh

The Party has been closing down ordinary Chinese social media commentary on the explosion and its aftermath.

Good to know they have their priorities straight, condolences to the locals.

In all seriousness, I completely agree.

The news I've read say that the explosion was at a port facility that specialized in storing hazardous materials (which in this case obviously includes explosive materials).  There are lots of industrial chemicals that, in large quantities, can make a large blast.

I think, but might be wrong on this, that Zack was insinuating that the US government had something to do with it?

That's What's I heard as well. Coincidence about the currency that day and evauling and economy there recently has me suspicious. Regardless, that was s tragic event hurt way more people that we can percive.

No

Why would US investers blow up their own chemicals?


currency?  And the economy causes explosions?

Word has it the US EPA sent the 3 key inspectors on their staff and Larry, Curley and Moe thought they needed a match to check the bottom of a barrel.

Did someone say explosion?

Look up Morton Thiokol in Las Vegas Nevada USA back about 1987 or 88.

The WW1 Halifax explosion was massive...2000+ lost their lives  9000+ injured when the SS Mont Blanc collided with the SS Imo in Halifax Harbor

The Texas City explosion in 1947 was one of the largest non nuclear explosions on record.  2100 metric tons of ammonium nitrate exploded in the harbor after a fire broke out on the SS Grandcamp

The stories on these are a lesson in the worst possible senario coming to fruition. 

Very sad for the people in China
