Only in China (and Jupiter).

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.

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.

Someone should tell the Chinese people that Muslims did it.

A Billion screaming Chinese marching on Mecca might be a good show.

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.

Is the powder lightweight enough to be suspended in significant quantities in air? I’d be skeptical. I could believe tons of it got scattered on surrounding land and buildings in the blasts, but not suspended in the air.

Oh wait, I see what they’re fearing... the stuff, now lying on the ground, is going to get soaked with rain water.

Isn’t it possible to chelate this stuff with the right chemical, such as ferric or ferrous compounds? Scatter some rust around.

Sodium cyanide is a very useful industrial chemical, especially in the extraction of gold and other precious metals from ore.

the Politburo which has kicked off the censorship campaign by shutting down hundreds of social media accounts for "spreading blast rumors."

Barry is taking notes.
