A massive explosion at a warehouse in the northern Chinese port city of Tianjin killed seven people and sent a fireball ripping through the sky, state media reported Thursday.

It will likely be in the thousands.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the real death toll could be well over 1,000 people. That second explosion—which had the explosive yield of 21 tons of TNT—essentially flattened several city blocks. The fact it happened at night meant any apartment complexes located nearby that were flattened were full of people.
