Oddly reminiscent of Iraq shock and awe.

Wow! I thought at first that was going to be a shot with Godzilla in it (power lines, cheesy model city, etc.)

If real, i’d agree that qualifies as a massive explosion.

That’s a big one. Hard to guess on the cause and magnitude. But then the Chinese commonly put inherently dangerous plants in urban settings.

I don’t think the Chinese are going to be so nice to the terrorists if they pull crap there...

There was a group of diaper-heads that tried to take over a jet in China (to crash into a building)

The people on board basically stomped 3 of them to death, and left the 4th alive for questioning.

For those interested, the BBC is reporting that a petrol (gasoline) storage tank may nave caught on fire and then exploded. Sadly, the casualty toll will be quite high given what we’ve seen on video in past from above-ground gasoline tank explosions. :-(

I’ve been in Tianjin.

They have a large coal gasification plant there, with an enormous gasholder. That’s a huge metal container, perhaps 75-100 meters high and nearly as large in diameter.

They are used to store gas and regulate its pressure as it is sent through pipelines to users.

That is perhaps what exploded.

The problem with China is you can never tell if it’s due to terrorist attack or just another example of poor workmanship and lack of safety standards.
