    When I was in Afghanistan in 2002, EOD detonated an old Russian cache that they had nicknamed the Mile of Bombs. I climbed on top of the brigade TOC with a digital camera to take pictures, and stood there slack-jawed as I watched the shock wave ripple through the tents in Tent City towards me. And forgot to take a picture.

    And that was NOTHING compared to the China explosion. Jesus Christ.

    No mention of this shutting down Tianjian's super computer and the US being absolutely pissed about recent hackings. Your lack of conspiracies disgust me.

    Honestly, it was the first thing I thought of when I heard the reports of extraordinarily low casualties compared to the enormity of the explosions. Had CIA operation written all over it.

    Pretty sure China could have paid 2 people to drunk drive through any neighborhood and kill more than this did.

    If I could upload webm's I have it, 6 second video that someone smoothed out, you can see the building get demolished in front of him and the rocks fly at his face and it's the last frame you see is rocks 3 feet away.

    An explosion at a steel factory in mainland China's northern Liaoning province took place less than 24 hours after the deadly blast at Tianjin port. Nobody was hurt in the latest explosion, which occurred on Thursday evening.

    The blast took place around 9.45pm at a privately-run small steel factory on the western outskirts of Anshan city, China National Radio reported on its Weibo account.

    Photos circulating on social media showed bright flames sending thick smoke into the air.

    The report said the blast was caused by 'leaked liquid'.

    Workers at the factory had put out the fire by the time firefighters arrived, the report said.
    The is another explosion at a steel factory a day after Tianjin.
    .

    3 major explosions within 2 weeks. Someone's pissed!
