No, that footage isn’t a Jerry Bruckheimer film.

It’s one of a series of massive explosions devastated the northern Chinese city of Tianjin on Wednesday evening. The blasts were so massive in fact that they could be seen by satellites in space.

At present, nearly 50 people have been declared dead so far, and hundreds more are injured. Nine firefighters are dead, more are missing. Who knows how many people are trapped in the wreckage.

It’s chaos.

Chinese media is reporting that the first explosion hit a warehouse owned by Tianjin Dongjiang Port Rui Hai International Logistics Co. Ltd., a logistics company. The rest is first hand accounts.

But the big question is, what actually caused this explosion?

No one seems to know… yet. At least, not as reported in the American media at this time.

Reuters is reporting on it as if it is likely an industrial accident, which the outlet claims “are not uncommon in China following three decades of breakneck economic growth.”
