There is a love called "mom, I'm gone," there is a love called "I love you, if I can come back alive ~", there is a kind of friendship is called "your father is my father", firefighters, peacetime hero, we are waiting for you to come back!!!!!! Salute!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope everything will be fine for you ilwzwb. The result worsens hour after hour, now more than 50 deaths, 12 of them being firefighters, and 700 injured or missing.

The warehouse that exploded is owned by a company called Ruihai Logistics, which handles toxic chemicals including Sodium Cyanide and Toulene Diisoyanate.

 

700 tons of Sodium Cyanide.   Kills with 100% lethality within 60 minutes at concentrations of 300mg/m^3.  700 tons.That's what burned.  Good luck evacuating 10 million people.   Gdamn.

 

Thought you guys mind find this interesting.  It explains the energy output of the explosion.

Thinking that the second N1/L3 launch failure developed nearly 30 TJ it gives a good picture of the explosion extent.

 

The first blast as the second and its shockwave were taken by a dashcam :
