Wow...this is tragic

Massive explosion in China. Possibly 100's killed. A mistake at a chemical handling warehouse and...BAM it's over.
Brings my mortality right to the forefront of consciousness.

While that does suck, China isn't known to have great safety procedures in place. Hopefully the number of casualties isn't that high.

This is quite a big industrial accident if that is in fact what it was. The death toll has to be large. It probably also sprayed toxic chemicals and poison gas.
