That actually looks like an okay place to live. Seems clean, they dress like Americans.

This may turn out to be as bad than the Texas City explosion in 1947.

The Beijing News reported that between 300 and 400 injured people had arrived at one hospital, while citing a worker at another who told the publication there were too many new patients to count.

The National Earthquake Bureau reported two major blasts before midnight, the first with an equivalent of 3 tons of TNT, and the second with the equivalent of 21 tons.
It's really terribly bad....They haven't a clue how many were torched in those flames...not to mention others who might have escaped seriously injured....
Seen from space...

Yeah it may. Especially if it’s true that a 20 story building may have collapsed. (Post upthread) But being China, do you think we’re ever going to learn what happened and how many perished?

As of now: “Seven people have reportedly died in the explosion according to Chinese media.”
Seems a little ‘conservative’...

“Thought I was looking at a small neighboorhood at first, but now I see that those are damn sky scrapers that that explosion is towering over.”
From Google, the tallest buildings are 1000 ft high. These plumes would appear to be thousands of feet high. This was a major event. Tough break for the victims and their loved ones.
