Massive Fire Burns After Another Explosion Rocks Tianjin Warehouse
As regular readers are no doubt aware, a giant explosion at a chemical plant in the Chinese port of Tianjin in August made international headlines and became a source of controversy and social unrest after citizens began to wonder if the Communist party was trying to cover up rampant corruption that might have allowed the catastrophe to happen.
Once the environmental effects of the chemical dispersion (mass fish die-offs and cyanide rain) became apparent, the world became fascinated with explosions at Chinese chemical factories which, if the last month or so is any guide, happen all the time.
Well don’t look now, but there are reports of another explosion at Tianjin. Here’s more from CCTV:
According to the Tianjin Fire news, the evening of October 12 Beichen District Sai Town, one about 500 square meters of a warehouse fire. Cause of the fire is the raw material spill alcohol on fire, after spread to the entire warehouse. Currently, the fire has been reported off-site no casualties. (CCTV reporter Zhao Yao's)
Daily news, according to the Tianjin Beichen District authorities, October 12 evening 10:30 or so, Beichen District Sai Town, an ammonia and alcohol or the document storage warehouse fire in and accompanied by an explosion, as of now no casualties were reported

I guess it's one way to encourage folks to move to Ghost cities. Convince them the city they live in is not safe.
I've had plenty of "leaks of alcohol" but none of them ever burned down a structure.
It was a "total loss". What a shame.
I swear I've heard this all before somewhere. But I recall it involved lightning of some kind and an insurance claim.
alcohol burns very very hot.
enough to liquify steel.
"Chinese lightning"
How do you say "Pull it!" in Mandarin?
ZION?
Hey China! How's that currency war working out? Oops, there goes another warehouse!

China used more cement between 2011 and 2013 than the U.S. used in the entire 20th Century.
So, it's going to take more sabotage than anyone can do to make a real dent. Unless they blow up some nuke plants.
That always makes a grin - nothing to do with the populous living in WOOD HOUSES State side?

Is this Tianjing, rigged with devices?
Is it the slowdown in the supply chain?
Is the djin?
They've poisoned their own environment. Just a matter of time and it'll be more destructive than any kind of sabotage.
Yeah, in a thousand years, boy will they be sorry.
"China used more cement between 2011 and 2013 than the U.S. used in the entire 20th Century."
How could that even be possible?

Zionize it? Lets hope no nuke plants get involved. Zionizing radiation burns and all that...

dup derp
After drinking many flaming sambucas I can testify to that.
I would bet there are still many who do not realize you are being sarcastic. If you went out on the street you might get most to believe it should you be a govt. expert.
"enough to liquify steel."
dang it.
left off the /s tag.

Two things.
1) Al Capone ddin't say that.
2) Al Capone "the brilliant military tactician" died due to a sexually transmitted disease.
Well if that's the case, and no one steps forward, then I'll claim authorship. I got the reference from an academic lecture so I'm surprised if it was attributed incorrectly. I assume you have a source? Secondly, so he died of an STD, who hasn't? I thought I'd die when I contracted it once. He was a mobster, he fucked whores. Your point?
"Secondly, so he died of an STD, who hasn't? "
a very good line. one that I shall quote when the time is right.
possibly topped by "He was a mobster, he fucked whores. Your point?" which I am reserving for an upcoming debate.
thanks, Ignatius (if that is your Real Name).
paw-paw: I saw an interview with topus about syria last night on the TEE-vee ...

Ian Lancaster Fleming (May 28, 1908 – August 12, 1964) was a British author, journalist and Second World War Navy Commander. Fleming is best remembered for creating the character of James Bond and chronicling his adventures in twelve novels and nine short stories. Additionally, Fleming wrote the children's story Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and two non-fiction books.

CIA bored?
Wait til the US Navy enters the 12 mile zone off the Spratly Islands . . .
IF they sail into the zone (they are spending a lot of time making the threat instead of doing it) they will have picked a good spot.
Far enough away from the mainland I would think. Helps to reduce the types of responses. Difficult spot for China if they do not respond in a decisive manner.
Lemme guess...
Hackers & a Toyota manufacturing faciliy providing ISIS with all those trucks.
Got it.
VW had to do something with all those TDIs.
I hate it when I'm leaking alcohol...
so when you're no longer making a profit, burn it and collect on insurance.
or... the only way for slaborers to force changes in working conditions and pay??

Pyromaniac on the loose...
there's absolutely no connection between china selling off us treasuries and all these explosions, none whatsoever
Thank God US retaliation has been confined to small-scale industrial sabotage, albeit for Tianjin. Pray its remains at this level.

Its true. There isn't. Can I pay for your trip to China so you can see for yourself? I can afford it. Will they let you off your "desk" with the time off to do so?
Chinese style for settling hundreds of re-hypothecated claims at once. Expect much more of this Chinese style of book keeping before all is said and done.
Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is an act of war, four times?....., ah never mind.
These Chinese explosions are beginning to approach the frequency of school shootings in the U.S.
Conducted by the same people or groups?
Maybe we should call the school shootings "acts of war" too?
Four times is a program.
Five times is Business As Usual.
500 Square meters? Thats like 1,500 square feet, right?
That doesnt seem to be THAT big of a warehouse.
Or am I using Common Core math?
There are 9 square feet in a square yard.
A tad more in a square meter.
Multiplier is 10.76 and not 3.
Back to skool for you.
Should have paid attention when they were doing "area." For Chrissakes, do not ask me to do the whole pi R squared shit.
I just went to a Sq meter to Sq feet calculator:
500 Sq Meters = 5,300 (approx) square feet.
http://www.thecalculatorsite.com/conversions/area/square-meters-to-squar...
Or using the 10.76, 5380. So, using common core math, that is like a square mile, being that a mile is 5280 feet. Now that is a lot of area.
Converting that to Km... 5380x1000 = 5.38million square km. Good think i am a nuclear physicist, my math skills are top knoutch. God Bless common core math, it allows me to be a nuclear psychic-ist.
So now we know the "rod of god" is accurate down to 500^2 meters?

Schmilkies... Yarmuckle Schmilkies?! is that you? I've been to Turkey and back seeking you out. Even joined the crypto cult Sabbatean Frankists to track down your squishiness.
Let us face east, wail the wall, eat bacon and swap wives.
"500 Square meters? Thats like 1,500 square feet, right?"
500 m2 = 5,382 sq ft
OK, 5380 square feet is still only a plot/warehouse ~50 feet wide by 100 feet long, which is not a really big warehouse.
But as a long time volunteer firefighter/chief, there has been a hell of a lot of warehouse/industrial fires in that port in a relatively short time...(and one in another port). There is a game afoot, Watson.
Even in China, as much as many in the States would like to think it's 3rd world conditions over there, this is a modern port city that ships out thousands of containers per year. If the warehouse had flammable goods, it would have a fire suppression system. When is the last fire of this magnitude in the US at any warehouse? To have two explosions a few weeks ago at major ports and now this one...all with hard-to-believe causes....yea, color me skeptical.
They did have fire suppression, but Wang and his fire hose were told to go on break.
"wang" IS the fire hose.

So you're saying you've never been there. Even if it had fire suppresion, if you are cavalier about how, how much and what you store together (and they are) and how your people drive fork lifts etc -- shit happens.
I have been there. Out in places you didn't even know had warehouses, you would get chemical/petroleum fumes so strong you thought the air was going to explode. Again, if you had ever been there, you'd quit in about one second with all this conspiracy stuff.
I have been there too...not Tianjin but to Qingdao not too far down the road. I didn't encounter anything like the fumes you suggest are prevalent there. I didn't see the type of warehouse you'd expect in, say, Houston or Linden, NJ but they weren't devoid of safety measures either. To suggest that they've gone literally decades of balls-to-the-wall manufacturing of hazardous chemicals without a significant accident to suddenly having 3 in one quarter is merely coincidence..? It's not conspiracy stuff to believe that something else is going on than mere bad fork lift drivers. Open your eyes.
Damn...how often do the Chinese celebrate New Years with fireworks displays?
Trying to keep the population calm while determining a course of action.
They are just burning all of Hillary's emails that she printed.
"Those pesky emails are gone forever now that I've had them incinerated."
They are merely making a distraction and then bury their gold while everyone is looking at the fire.
Attempted intimidation to get them to back off the Yuan deval.
Chinese version of "Burning Yuan".
Nevada had theirs last month.
Insurance Fraud.
The fire is still burning and they already know what caused it...
ehe...
Loyd's will be having another bad day I guess...
Is it happening?
I'VE BEEN WAITING.
How many warehouses is this now - five or six? More??
We are way beyond coincidence. If this is how some Communist Party members "cut their losses" on unsold goods through insurance scams ... then I'd hate to be in the insurance business in China.
If this is real sabotage, then it won't be long before bullets are flying.
Interesting, last time 120 casualties, although it looked like a nuke had exploded, this time even no casualties. This Tianjin must be some kind of ghost town.
Document storage warehouse.
Heard that is where Billary's emails were being stored.
Tianjin burnt VW bugs as the curr€ncy war$ heat up. USSA needs a another new "Pearl Harbor".
Onwards to the end

I have heard that a lot of chinese buisneses re in financial trouble, they are working just to pay interests on loans. I don't know how easy it is in china to declare yourself bankrupt but maybe burning your place down is the next best option?
