Honestly none of our business as China is not the China we once knew it to be.....heck Trump keeps telling us...and so have many others for years now....

You just watch their recent videos and those we produce about China....our cities and infrastructure look like antiques as well as our transportation. None of our major cities can compare to what they're doing on the other side of the world. which by the way our politicians have made possible....

So they can handle their citizens and their country's very well...no matter how we might think otherwise. Look at it like what we were doing in our Industrial Revolution.....we had a lot of accidents as well.

But it's not just China either....even go to Kazbekistan and other M. Eastern major cities. it's astounding really.

Maybe someone should check the telefrag op logs to see if a package was delivered to Tinajin..

Not really explosive.

It is a great cleaning, but it can do some rather interesting things. If you get it on aluminum, it will etch it and make hydrogen gas.

The processes to produce it are pretty varied, but the most common is electrolysis. So you make hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaCl) from brine (NaCl and water).

Lots of things that can make hydrogen and go boom there.

Scrolling down there’s a photo of a man standing next to a destroyed building described as dorms for workers. There must be scores of dead- but it does’t appear there are rescue workers.

That makes sense. I wonder what that first fire and explosion was from.

Firefighting suspended at Tianjin blast site

Firefighting efforts at the site of the blast in Tianjin have been suspended, because the number of hazardous chemicals at the explosion site is unknown, CCTV reported
