“Huge blast” makes it sound like there’s nothing left of the building

Yes, does seem less serious than that. Odd thing to me is location (China) & two supposed incidents. Women with petrol than men with explosive or fireworks, supposedly hours apart.

Screaminess headline to get click wins in today's media.
I saw some doozies this week. Is screaminess a real word?

Yes. If “huge blast” has anything less than the potential to flatten a large building... it is certainly not huge nor is it much of a blast when used in the context of explosives.

I hate today’s headlines. All sensational tabloid journalism and not news.

“Small explosion outside US embassy in Beijing.” Would be a more than enticing headline and still be accurate.

Actaully, it’s even more funny than that. The headline says “huge blast” but the article itself has the police saying someone detonated a “small device.” Holy cow. Can a headline get any more clickbaity? Is clickbaity an ok word also today since apparently anything goes with headlines?

Yeah the size of a firecracker that only was big enough to injure his hand. Fricking media hyped up headlines for a "slow boat" day in China
