Large explosion devastates port of Tianjin in northern china.

[QUOTE] Two massive explosions in the port of Tianjin, northern China, have killed more than a hundred people, left hundreds more injured and devastated large areas of the city. Before the explosions, several firefighters were already at the scene trying to control a blaze. There have been suggestions that water sprayed on some of the chemicals could have led to the blasts.
Calcium carbide, known to be at the site, reacts with water to create the highly explosive acetylene.
Chemical experts suggest an acetylene blast could then have detonated the other chemicals for a much larger blast.[/QUOTE]

This is exactly why I don't usually post news threads. Either its already posted, or somehow the news feed on my phone somehow gives me some old ass news. Figures.
