damn there are some other videos out there that are crazy. Apparently it was a chemical factory of some sort.
Here's a fairly close up of it. Not sure how to embed it though:

Came to post the same thing. It's the same one Kiopa posted. Absolutely nuts. 50 dead my ass. It's going to be into the thousands I bet, if the Chinese ever come clean about the numbers. Several apartment blocks were obliterated and anyone close to that, like every fireman there, was vaporized.
Not to mention any long-term health consequences that may occur. Who knows what chemicals blew up, but judging from the explosion, I'm assuming they're chemicals you don't want to be breathing in for several days or more.
Oh, according to CNN one of the chemicals was sodium cyanide, and according to the CDC sodium cyanide:
CDC - The Emergency Response Safety and Health Database: Systemic Agent: SODIUM CYANIDE - NIOSH
Lovely. Aside from that, appears what chemicals blew is a "hush, hush" right now.

One of the first things I noticed was the incredibly low death toll, relative to the size of the blasts. It never crossed my mind China might be lying. Sneaky Asian bastards.
This is one of those things that just has my heart racing. It is just an incredible sight to see, such a huge explosion.
Ya really have to feel for those anywhere near the blast. The death toll is going to be huge.

the explosion happened at about 11:30 pm local time, besides some factories that area is mostly cars and shipping containers, . the death toll may increase some more naturally, but this is why it is lower than you would expect.
different angle. seems like those apartment buildings were just far enough away not to have got heavy damage. i would guess most injuries in those apartments are from flying glass.
edit timer waits for no man.

The death penalty vans are probably on the prowl.
