    That's what it looks like when accidents happen at chemical factories.....the same could potentially happen near Houston if a big enough mistake was made.

    looks like china is claiming it as a gas explosion, but locals are saying it was a chemical warehouse that exploded and created a chain reaction. locals being asked to stay in doors and close windows from what I saw.

    Holy sheet that was huge. I can't imagine that was a gas explosion. I mean that was unbelievably huge. That had to be a chemical plan of some sort.

    The footage from the explosions...just wow. I can't even begin to imagine the amount of damage and loss of life from this. Truly sad.

    From what I've heard, that city has north of 15 million people in it, the casualties could be ridiculous.

    Prayers go out to the poor Chinese people that have to live in that cesspool.
