Drone footage shows ground zero of the Tianjin blast

Posted on at


A drone captured some of the most apocalyptic footage at the site of the devastating blast that took place in north China’s city of ‪#‎Tianjin‬ on Wednesday night, which so far has claimed 85 innocent lives, including 21‪#‎firefighters‬ and injured hundreds of many others.

Meanwhile, the city’s authorities said they still don’t know the exact details of what types and quantities of dangerous chemicals that were being stored in the warehouse, saying that storage information in the warehouse “remains inconsistent”.

The Tianjin municipal government also added that it has taken measures to curb environmental contamination in the aftermath.

While further investigation and rescue operations are underway, China’s cyber security authorities have shut down over 360 social media accounts, said Xinhua, for spreading rumors about the fatal explosions such as "toxic gas blown to Beijing", "malls and markets looted", and "no one survived within one kilometers of the blast site".
