“I doubt it was gas. Looks like something was burning at first then the explosion occurred. Gas normally goes boom once if finds a spark no fire preceding it.”

The first explosion was near the Tianjin Floating Natural Gas Terminal (”Gas Station” just opened months ago), and it sounds as if that is what exploded next.

“Paging T. Boone Pickens..
Mr. Pickens, please pick up the burning courtesy phone!”

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