The story behind the chemical explosion that rocked China’s Tianjin port last Wednesday continues to evolve amid fears that the public could be at risk from the hundreds of tonnes of sodium cyanide stored at the facility.
More specifically, Monday’s heightened concerns were related to the possibility that rain could interact with the water soluble chemical, releasing deadly hydrogen cyanide gas into the air. "First rain expected today or tonight. Avoid ALL contact with skin," a text message purported to have originated at the US Embassy in Beijing read. The Embassy would later deny the message’s authenticity, perhaps at the behest of the Politburo which has kicked off the censorship campaign by shutting down hundreds of social media accounts for "spreading blast rumors."

Cyanide Thunderstorm — great name for a heavy metal band.
The chinese have mastered the art of being both smart and stupid at the same time.
More like Death Metal?
yeah....cuz ‘Poison’ was already taken.
From the Chinese Communist perspective, this is an opportunity to rid themselves of a few more mouths they’d have to feed. So, they’ll want the Cyanide Thunderstorms, with a side of nerve gas.
Cyanado sequel to Sharknado 54

How much didn’t burn?

A Billion screaming Chinese marching on Mecca might be a good show.
My eyes are up here,Dr.Ursus,I mean Al!
I read through the whole article to find out what was worth $ 1.5 billion and couldn’t find anything, just estimates by European insurance and banking companies.
The cars are about $100 million, and there couldn’t have been a billion dollars worth of chemicals and buildings. This is starting to sound like a typical Chinese fraud scheme.
I guess it’s only bad if they have acid rain, as that converts the NaCN to hydrogen cyanide (HCN).
And you get acid rain if you have sulfuric pollutants from high-sulfur coal, or from poorly catalyzed autos.
Oh wait... I’ve seen (but not seen through) Beijing smog.
How utterly sophomoric.
I stopped watching, TWC, because of that sorry A$$. He is worthless, to the nth degree.
A hard rain’s gonna fall
TWC was purchased by regime affiliate Comcast to use as a vehicle to promote the false theory of climate change.
It’s a very effective propaganda device.
