China explosions: Fires still burning after Tianjin blasts - BBC News

The warehouse that exploded in the port area is owned by a company called Ruihai Logistics, which specialises in handling hazardous goods.

The company's website says these include compressed gas, flammable liquid and toxic chemicals - some of which become highly explosive when mixed with water.

But city officials said on Friday they still did not know what materials were at the warehouse at the time of the fire, or what caused the blasts.

Gao Huaiyou, deputy director of Tianjin's work safety watchdog, said there were discrepancies between accounts by company and customs officials, adding that damage to company offices made it hard to identify the chemicals.

The two explosions, seconds apart, caused a fireball visible from space and a shockwave that damaged buildings within a 2km radius (1.5 miles). The second of the blasts was the equivalent of 21 tonnes of TNT.

I didn't hear of it before now, because I don't watch the news a lot.

I saw it on facebook earlier, scary stuff if you were within range of that blast. If it was seen from space what are the chances of E.T.'s looking down and wondering who did what? they take a lot of interest in military bases and the like and it appears that they were trying to save us from nuclear war before. Surely if they saw a blast that big perhaps they took some interest.

It almost looks like a scene from Judgement Day in Terminator

GPS satellites linked to radio telescopes can now detect atomic explosions Lisa......even underground

ET`s would have been watching these years ago and probably laughing at us lol
