Caught On Tape: Another Huge Chemical Warehouse Explosion Rocks China

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Who could have seen this coming? 

Just a little over a week after a powerful explosion killed 114 and injured more than 700 in the Chinese port of Tianjin, it appears as though a second blast has occurred at a chemical warehouse, this time in China's eastern Shandong province. A residential area is reportedly located just 1 km away.

We'll await the details which we imagine will suggest that, as was the case in Tianjin, many more tonnes of something terribly toxic were stored than is allowed under China's regulatory regime which apparently only applies to those who are not somehow connected to the Politburo. Indeed, The People's Daily is reporting that the plant contained adiponitrile, which the CDC says can cause "irritation eyes, skin, respiratory system; headache, dizziness, lassitude (weakness, exhaustion), confusion, convulsions; blurred vision; dyspnea (breathing difficulty); abdominal pain, nausea, [and] vomiting."

There are two videos shown below. As of now, there's some confusion as to which is authentic.

From BBC:

An explosion has been reported at a chemical plant in China's eastern province of Shandong.

 

Large flames can be seen from the site of the blast in Zibo County. There are so far no reports of any casualties.

 

The People's Daily said a warehouse at the plant exploded and firefighters are at the scene. There is a residential area about 1km from the plant.

 

Earlier this month blasts in the northern city of Tianjin killed at least 116 people, with hundreds hurt.

 

Unverified YouTube footage showed a massive explosion at the Shandong plant.

 

It is not yet clear if homes in the Shandong area have been damaged.

And from Reuters:

The factory produced adiponitrile, a colorless liquid that releases poisonous gases when it reacts with fire, the People's Daily said, citing the state-run Beijing Times.

 

Seven fire brigades consisting of a total of 150 fire fighters and 20 fire engines were sent to the scene and fire brigades that are trained to work with fires involving chemicals are being dispatched, Xinhua said.

 

Windows shattered in the village where the blast occurred, state media said, and tremors reverberated within 2 kilometers (1 mile) of the site of the explosion.

The Western Elite is really ramping up their attack on China.

 

China will retaliate by sending troops and heavy demolition equiptments into Syria to clear away ISIS civilization zones. Then the heavy construction equiptments will arrive with millions of Chinese settlers.

What's the probability, that since the west offshored its manufacturing and (lots of ODM relationships) China's 'economy' and infrastructure grew a couple of order of magnitude, and the first tech boom (hardware), the second one (Internet), the third one (social fuckyouedia), and no bigass explosions the whole time... that two like events of this magnitude just happen... within a couple of weeks of each other.

You're talking about the CIA and .gov, right?  There are chemicals everywhere around this planet.  There are also passenger planes too, but 2 downed in less than a year from the same airline is pure coincidence, isn't it?

No conspiracy theorist here, just looking at the facts in front of me, which are exported inflation, a fetish to down passenger planes, and destabilizing other countries from within.

Obviously this is agents of the Chicomm central bank destroying inventory and breaking windows.   There's more than one way to align demand with supply amiright?    FDR did the same shit during his centrally planned recession, plowing crops under, pouring milk down the drain, to raise prices.   Some of those policies are still in place here, so do not doubt the Chicomms ability to get to the same point.

Epic video, ORI. The only way out for individuals is non-participation with centralized force, and personal and community de-centralization. It takes resources and current system 'money' to facilitate such things. You have to participate in the system now, so that you may gain enough labor4'money' translations to hopefully not participate in the future? What is a poor man to do in this wicked world?

p.s. I've continued some thoughts on the "it takes a village" concept in the student loans thread.

Islam has a rich and substantial history of wreaking terror over the last 1400 years. The CIA and Mossad have only been around since 1946. I'm sure they are up to no good but the fact is, Muslims don't need much help when it comes to terror. As they say, "it's in the book"-- the Koran that is.

Anyone with something large and valuable would be foolish to count on insurance if the re-insurance is on the back of AIG and Lloyds. In dangerous times one should simply protect one's wealth and not count on insurance.

I'm not saying this could not happen but I just don't know how reliable insurance in China.

China is wiser than Russia.  And what you take as wisdom (inaction) from Russia is born of weakness and inability. 

This attack (if it is one, the previous one was an attack) is a good thing.  Makes it clear to China they must fight or be dominated forever.

Each attacks with the best weapons they have.  The US has bombs, biowarfare, cia sponsored internal terrorism and other physical attacks.  The Chinese have economic weapons and gold.  (The US gold have been pilfered in the dark of night and will not be returned.)

Will the US next use biowarfare and if they do will China return the favor in kind?

Any physical movement of the military sort in the ME by China will be a clear sign they are getting ready to fight.  Movement into Iran with actual forces, it is too late for Syria.  I seriously doubt they are ready though.  China recently pulled back it's commitment to Russia and some large projects, perhaps China knows they will have to go it alone and Russia is impotent or not to be trusted as a dependable allie.

 Let's see the evidence you have for the Taijin explosion being an attack, and I mean hard evidence that doesn't require me to put on my tinfoil hat. Total 'Rod Of God" style speculation is all I see here.

 I've posted this link before, it is called 'Chai Jing's Review: Under The Dome', and it reveals the absolute disregard for environmental standards by the Chicoms. It is an excellent documentary by one of China's leading journalists. It was so good it was banned by the government after receiving 2 million views on the mainland. It is an inside look that exposes the total corruption of oversight agencies, and the devastating effects on the health of the chinese people.

Oh, Stumpy

And what you take as wisdom (inaction) from Russia is born of weakness and inability. 

What you take as weakness and inability on the part of Russia compared to China is the deployment of 60,000, soon to be 90,000 NATO troops on their western border with the Baltic states, Poland and Romania.


What is your problem with Russia, my friend?

Your grasp of their actions rivals that of newsoutlet, a certifiable idiot.

Exactly,  NATO can place freely place 100,000 troops, missiles, heavy weapons and military bases anywhere along Russia's borders without any worries of the reaction.

I have no problem with Russia, Putin is not what people wish him to be and Russia's situation is not what people wish it to be.  Just the other week Putin was reduced to hosting the insurgents from Syria in Russia to make requests for how Syria will be structured after the final fall of Assad. 

Have those missiles actually been installed in Iran yet.  You know, the ones contracted for in 2007, and then Russia refused to honor the agreement.  Then Putin consented to the sanctions against Iran and used that as an excuse to refuse to deliver.  (By the way, in 2007 Russia also contracted to provide missiles to Syria and even as Syria was destroyed Putin never supplied them.)

Putin is whipped and being pinned within Russia's borders.  China has strength but do they have the nerve to react to the attacks.

I hope you didn't take from my reply that Russia will not go nuclear if the Negro pushes it.

Putin is doing fine in Russia.  It's the MSM  telling us that he isn't.

You weren't at the meeting of Putin and the insurgents, so why pretend that you know what was discussed and why?

If you read the MSM the S-300 are on their way.  The question is have they been upgraded to S-400 or Antey-2500.  You probably know, seeing that you know EVERYTHING. Remind me.  Have Israel's jets attack Iran since 2007?  Did Iran need the S-300? 

OTOH, Syria was fighting insurgents and could have had their S-300's captured and maybe The Russia didn't want its radar reverse engineered.  

Stumpy knows EVERYTHING. Let's ask him.

 

Putin is so pinned within Russia's borders that he just went to CRIMEA for a holiday.  Are you calling Crimea Russia's borders? It didn't used to be.

Turkey just got rid of Germany's, Spain's, and the US's Patriot missiles.  A blow to Putin or a cupcake?  Just this week Kazakhstan told  the US to get the fuck out. Another cupcake.  And the inability of South Sudan to sign the worthless peace treaty.  Yeah, everything is coming up cupcakes for Vlad.

Speaking of which, you and I should get together for cupcakes soon.  My treat.

Your trouble, Stumpy is that you look a foreign relations with blinders.

This is a WTF moment. Like are US NGOs working in China?

Takes one back to the Stuxnet hack of Seimens pump controllers and Flame. Even the NYT fessed up it was cooperative effort by the US and Israel.

If it wash't some US NGO assignment, then technology could have done it. There are big drying lights in those kinds of warehouses. All ya gotta do is turn `em on, over juice the voltage, and kaboom.

Solving it with pictures with circles and arrows on it won;t work at the UNSC, it's owned by US and UK war banisters. They got some of our and some Israeli public service employees to once agin, "put their shorts on backwards" and take it where the sun don't shine.

The problem with overconfidence and false sense of smartypants security is that you will miss the counter punch. The UNSC  won't do shit. So what the victim can do is corrupt the personal security of the white shoes running the sabotage an take em out under guise of suicide or unwitnessed accident. US do it all the time, even to our own people.

Do you mean that in a country 4 times the population of the US and 4 times less regulation, there is another explosion of some storage/processing facility?   Whocouldaknowd?

EDIT: Originally I thought this was trending click bait (of which ZH can often be accused) but goddamn, that was pretty immense (lessen my personal arrogance by 4 times).

What's up with all these noobies and the derogatory "ZH" comments? For years I never saw anyone say "ZH", and figured, obviously, that if someone didn't like the content they'd go somewhere else, somewhere they enjoyed the content.

Now I can't get thru a comment section with some insipid "another stupid ZH article.."

You don't like it? Move along! They love the obtuse angry comments on Drudge!

Of course this is not coincidental and speculate is all one can do without facts. With the Chinese market in its death throes and war is all the talk in that part of the world here goes. The Chinese communist government is panicking and is:

A: Engaging in a preemptive strike on future targets their enemies might hit.

or

B: Causing these events and death to put fear in or distract the masses from civil unrest or overthrow of the government.

                                      There I have speculated.
