**** it gives me chills watching that. All those people in the blast radius. Good lord..

 

[RockerGuy]

That reminds me of the Hindenburg Disaster

I can't even compute the size of that last explosion. When the vid starts, it's already a giant-*** fireball in the distance.

[Riceburner]

least 56 dead, among them 21 firefighters, but many are still missing, 700+ injured and 6,000 or so displaced.


Sodium cyanide, a highly toxic chemical that can rapidly kill humans exposed to it, was one of the materials

The Chinese government issued a '22 tonne' statement. There have been estimates of 300 tonnes +.

A firecracker compared to the 1917 Halifax explosion.

From what I read, big explosion #1 was equivalent to 2.7 tonnes of TNT...the next, and really huge was was equivalent to 19 tonnes of TNT.
Yikes.

I don't think I had ever heard of it before, odd. Wikipedia's description of events is mind-boggling. Atom bomb before the atom bomb.
