I do not normally post anything on FJ, but if you would like to see the full video of this

www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXm2F1hXKb8

My vote is with sodium cyanide chemical compound, fire fighter mistakes were made, poured water on it, boom.

That made me laugh the hardest Ive laughed on this site for awhile noe
User avatar #5 - heartlessrobot ONLINE (08/13/2015) [-]
It's a chemical plant. The explosions are the size of ******* skyscrapers, no way it's a gas station.

reading the news, it was a chemical warehouse, which is worse
#24 to #5 - awordofcaution (08/14/2015) [-]
afaik the Chinese government said it was a shipping container full of explosives
User avatar #31 to #24 - maybehuman ONLINE (08/14/2015) [-]
Chinese government lies about everything, I don't believe it.
User avatar #74 to #31 - shixma (08/14/2015) [-]
then why are there shipping containers everywhere if it wasnt a shipping container. Also the explosion happened at a large port, no reason dangerous chemicals couldn't be there...
#141 to #74 - thrifty (08/14/2015) [-]
It was a warehouse at a port, not an actual container.

Something about the blast looks like it also contained some powerful Oxidizer, in liquid form, there's trails scattered out in one of the videos.

I can't imagine what private company in the world apart from rocket fuel suppliers would store that kind of material.

Just my guess though.
#148 to #141 - biomere (08/14/2015) [-]
Well I heard that it was Superman just filming another movie. Idk where you get your information, but obviously I'm right.
User avatar #283 to #74 - maybehuman ONLINE (08/15/2015) [-]
the hole details may or may not be true because of the Chinese government has direct control over all media.
#196 to #31 - captaincapital ONLINE (08/14/2015) [-]
what if the chinese government says that they always lie

would that open up a black hole?
User avatar #282 to #196 - maybehuman ONLINE (08/15/2015) [-]
probably

Yeah, it's been reported that ******* chlorine gas is spreading from the blast site. People are being told to stay inside and seal their windows.

Lol "stay where are you, we will be there to help" - chines govt as they seal off the zonr and begin ordering body bags and giant robots to clean up the mess.

Just like in Japan. Only that in Japan they knew that the third time would be too much.

People probably died in that... But holy **** that was cool.
#22 to #11 - anon (08/14/2015) [-]
around 44 people died
User avatar #152 to #11 - commontroll ONLINE (08/14/2015) [-]
China's government claims 50. I severely doubt that.

Granted it was at night, so it wasn't as crowded, but it was less than a click from three major "residence communities."

51 dead 700 injured. Numbers by the time of this post.
User avatar #56 to #11 - rhiaanor (08/14/2015) [-]
they say 50 people died, so knowing china at least 300 I'd say

Here. Since you posted for source like 8 times.

OP just cropped the picture out of this earthquake pic.
User avatar #228 to #212 - toosexyforyou (08/14/2015) [-]
You mean the picture OP used is fake? And that's the reason Kibble said "it's fake." Dude, no one gives a **** about the stupid pictures. The reason this is crazy is because he was talking about causing explosions in China before it happened. The way you prove this is fake is by showing that he posted that after the events happened instead of before.

Every major news source that isn't only interested in conspiracies.

It was a large shipment of explosives, but not a nuclear bomb. Very very different detonations.

over 50 people died in that explosion www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-33915683

this isn't your average, everyday edgy
this is ADVANCED edgy
#37 to #26 - blobness (08/14/2015) [-]
It was waaaay more than 50. Never trust numbers provided by the Chinese Government. Safe practice is to multiply what they give you by ten, usually.
User avatar #38 to #37 - thepizzadevourer (08/14/2015) [-]
Yeah, you're probably right
I just forget that China is still pretty communist

Guess it's time to go research the "50-cent party" again
#39 to #38 - blobness (08/14/2015) [-]
It's not even the communism, as a whole China has always been obsessed with saving face. They're gonna lowball this in an effort to salvage whatever they think their image is.
User avatar #151 to #37 - commontroll ONLINE (08/14/2015) [-]
Yeah, just from the size of the explosion, you can tell it was more than 50 killed. The explosions were larger than skyscrapers, not just the clouds. Everybody in the immediate area is without a doubt dead just from the blastwave, then people hit by debris, then add in that apparently there's chemicals involved.

I normally get really mad when they record "portrait" style on a phone.

BUT here i'm happy they did since you can see the height of the explosion.

ALSO. Holy **** balls, judging by the shock wave lag this thing is huge.
User avatar #176 to #85 - incognitoad (08/14/2015) [-]
They estimated that the first explosion was equivalent to 3 tonnes of TNT and the biggest explosion was equivalent to 21 tonnes.
#183 to #176 - incognitoad (08/14/2015) [-]
And the explosion was also visible from space.
User avatar #209 to #183 - ariakon (08/14/2015) [-]
Also registered as a 2.8 on the Richter scale
User avatar #9 - jonnyfrosty ONLINE (08/13/2015) [-]
To imagine this is nothing compared to even the smallest atomic bomb
User avatar #77 to #9 - admiralen (08/14/2015) [-]
nah, the smallest nuke is pretty damn weaksauce
User avatar #136 to #77 - hieru (08/14/2015) [-]
This was way bigger than average tactical nuke.
User avatar #187 to #136 - jcbiddulph ONLINE (08/14/2015) [-]
this explosion was equivalent to 21 tonnes of tnt, Little boy (bomb dropped on Hiroshima) was 714 times larger (15,000 tonnes of TNT equivalent) the largest nuclear bomb ever detonated, the Tsar bomba was nearly 2.4 MILLION times more powerful (50,000,000 of TNT equivalent)

"Modern tactical nuclear warheads have yields up to the tens of kilotons, or potentially hundreds, several times that of the weapons used in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki." this was about 1000-10000 times smaller than a tactical nuke.
User avatar #192 to #187 - hieru (08/14/2015) [-]
This was the first official word, estimates by people who did some calculations based on explosion size, distance and such are placing it at about 1.5 kiloton. Average tactical nukes are built to take out military outposts and such, their average yield is 0.1 kiloton, smallest ever made is 0.01 kt. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Crockett_ (nuclear_device)
User avatar #195 to #192 - jcbiddulph ONLINE (08/14/2015) [-]
a 0.021KT bomb would create a 20m wide fireball, and cause buildings to collapse and 3rd degree burns up to a ~150m radius. Don't forget that the size of the fireball in china would have been larger due to the explosion causing flammables to ignite. 21t seems a fair ammount
User avatar #210 to #195 - hieru (08/14/2015) [-]
Nuclear devices also explode in air to cause more wide spread damage, in case of ground explosion force just goes upwards. The earthquake that the bomb caused was equalent to half a ton of tnt. Also The causes are still not confirmed. There's too much loose ends everywhere to actually say what happened. But even so, 21 tonnes of tnt is more than smaller tactical nukes. And as i've said, that's other people calculating not me, I wont get my arse and focus on some calculations just to prove something + I'm too lazy to dig deeply into research atm. We'll probably know exact yields, casualty counts and such in a week or so. And probably even who's "did this". I've learnt alot from media... and that's never to listen to media espacially when things are heated up, they say so many things that just wont add up so it's kinda up to us what to belive and what not. As it is now, I wont say you're wrong or right because i'm not an explosive experts or anything like that. Nontheless, I'm glad this happened at night since it reduced casualties by a lot. Ofc it would be best if it wouldn't happen at all.
User avatar #237 to #210 - jcbiddulph ONLINE (08/14/2015) [-]
"way bigger than average"

you link the smallest, with a yield of 10-20t, very close to the minimum practical size and yield for a fission warhead, which it is equivalent to, most are 1KT Plus

www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWZcT-kr-_o 20t explosion minus flames, looks pretty similar
#264 to #237 - hieru (08/14/2015) [-]
I linked the smallest but according to what i've read was 10 times stronger than this smallest thing on average. Also in the video I have no absolute perspective on explosion size. also I'm sharing this thing with you since it's friggin awsome. usually band brand beers sucks *cough iron maiden* but this one is amazing XD
User avatar #265 to #264 - jcbiddulph ONLINE (08/14/2015) [-]
got a link to what you read?
User avatar #273 to #265 - hieru (08/14/2015) [-]
I'm sorry. I'd search it right now but I'm getting ready to go out. Try googling for average tactical nuke yields or something
User avatar #274 to #273 - jcbiddulph ONLINE (08/14/2015) [-]
I have and it came back with 10-100kt, wanted to see what you were reading. No matter! Enjoy your night/day
User avatar #286 to #274 - hieru (08/15/2015) [-]
I can't find that statistic site anymore. However I think I know how they've caluclated it to be 100 tons. There were 2100 Davy Crockett's produced and probably some other smaller artillery/mine nukes were mass produced as well, lowering the average per warhead. Per type it's probably somewhere betwen 10-100kt.

all you ***** complaining about the joking

This is the heat of the moment we are seeing here, and if all ******* hell was breaking loose outside my window like that I would probably break into an insanity laughter as well.

there's a point when **** hits the fan so hard that you just cant even comprehend it and it makes you laugh.
#124 - EdwardNigma ONLINE (08/14/2015) [-]
I thought the small explosion at the very start was the end of it. Maybe a couple more small explosions like that.
I did not expect this.
This is...this is horrifying.
