Massive blasts rock Chinese city of Tianjin

There are 44 confirmed dead and hundreds injured in a huge explosion at a Chinese fuel storage facility. We have some raw footage of the explosion that rocked the city of Tianjin late wednesday. According to Liu Yue, a 25-year-old Tianjin resident; “The second explosion was so powerful that I felt the entire 16-floor-building was shaking,”. Liu  lives about 4 kilometers (2½ miles) from the site of the blasts. “I thought it was an earthquake! I was extremely scared. I was afraid my family was in danger.”The two separate explosions, about 30 seconds apart and captured in the video below, happened at around 10:30 p.m. local time. The tremor from the blasts, the larger of which measured 2.9 on the Richter scale, was felt 10 kilometers away.  One look at the video below and you will see just how massive this “chemical fire” was. It looks like something straight out of a Michael Bay movie but unfortunately it is a real life tragedy. Hit play the video works there is just no feature pictures.
