Massive Explosions in Tianjin Aug 12, 2015 12:13:37 GMT -8

Good gravy. Could be a chemical plant. I recall the massive fertilizer plant explosion in Texas, looked similar in magnitude. Hard to say though.

News initially reporting it as a shipment and/or warehouse of explosives, according to the Chinese media.
