Apocalyptic Footage From Tianjin Explosion Captured By Drone

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With at least 50 dead and over 700 injured, it is no exaggeration to say that the massive explosion in the Chinese port of Tianjin is a total disaster. As the following stunning drone's eye views show heavily damaged homes, huge plumes of smoke, and completely burned-out cars cover this post-apocalyptic scene.

Day time secnes of disaster:

 Night-time apocalypse.

 Over the warehouses.

Thath's the Chinese stock market, isnt it?

Between this, the Chinese smog and other air pollution, and the EPA ruining rivers in the US, what exactly

is the impact of further governmental hamstringing of american business by Obama?

Man, China is really kicking out butts.  America needs less pesky regulation so that we can have spectacular industrial explosions once again.

That's horrific. So many things go through my mind when I watch those videos, but mainly overwhelming sadness. Even for those truckers rolling slowly down the highway beside the devastation, likely breathing in deadly fumes.

The Galveston TX disaster (http://www.texascity-library.org/disaster/first.php) was perhaps worse.

 

From it we learned about a new explosive.....diesel and ammonium nitrate fertilizer.....

I'll be damned. None of those buildings collapsed into their footprint...

First, it was an exterior blast. Second, it was not a fire. Third, they did not collapse. Depending on the reason for collapse the would have collapsed in their footprint/s.

I bet you got a hard-on when you saw the article and hoped you could hijack yet another thread. Quit baiting your buddies to chime-in. Take your dog and pony show somewhere else. We all get the the MIC thing here, but that obsessive truther mantra's getting really old and we're all stocked up here.

I can't imagine what it must have been like to be living within a few miles of that blast. I was living about 3 1/2 miles as the crow flies from Long Beach Harbor in Dec. '76 when the empty oil tanker blew up.

It was a big enough blast to blow the center section of a super tanker onto the dock right out of the water and it blew my unlatched casement windows wide open. Just down the street there were picture windows that were blown out that couldn't take the pressure wave.

Granted that was a giant air-fuel mix bomb which is a pretty rapid explosion, but this looks 100X worse.

There's going to be a much higher death toll than they're saying when they dig out that mess.

Looks like a typical day in the middle east....the west bombing countries that wont accept a central bank or give up their natural resources.

If you guys are into explosions you should take a trip out to the Bakken you can watch things blowup weekly out there, semi tankers, storage tanks, treaters, shops, rigs you name it.  Maybe that has slowed a bit but I would guess it is still pretty prevalent.

"Wells proposes the following "broad essential requirements" for "independent initiatives in the Open Conspiracy": "(1) The complete assertion . . . of the provision nature of existing governments . . . ; (2) The resolve to minimise . . . the conflicts of these governments; (3) The determination to replace private local or national ownership of at least credit, transport and staple production by a responsible world directorate . . . ; (4) The practical recognition of the necessity for world biological controls, for example, of population and disease; (5) The support of a minimum standard of individual freedom and welfare in the world; and (6) The supreme duty of subordinating the personal life to the creation of a world directorate capable of these tasks and to the general advancement of human knowledge, capacity and power.""

I just hope there is a public claim by ISIS or some home grown Muzzie group that they torched the mutha.

I bet no firefighters because it's all nasty stuff smoldering, wait til that shiit runs off into river and mixes with the pig carcases etc, tasty drinking water for Peijing
