New Footage Of The Tianjin Explosion May Be Most Dramatic Yet

An explosion rocked the city of Tianjin in China, killing 50 people and injuring hundreds more.

The incident happened at a warehouse for hazardous chemicals and caused a huge fireball that could be seen from space. Twelve firefighters are among those who lost their lives and reports say that 36 people are still missing.

The monumental blast was caught on camera by dozens of people across the country, who collectively posted the footage onto social media – and now somebody has compiled six significant angles into one video.

But one piece of footage also uploaded to YouTube made its way onto Reddit today, and it may just be the most devastating one minute of footage I have seen in my lifetime.

Reports suggest that the man who filmed the angle, and his family, are safe and well – and that in the footage he told them all to go and hide in the bathroom. Wise.

Many commenters also expressed how happy they were to hear the man speak at the very end of the video, and we mirror the gesture!

Our thoughts go out to everyone involved in this horrible incident, especially to the friends and family of those who have lost their lives.

'I Left My Husband For Him, But He Didn't Return The Favor'

Sometimes we screw up, but we have to find happiness and strength within to get back up again. If someone had walked up to me and told me a year ago I would be a 30-year-old single mom with two kids, I would have looked at them like they were batshit crazy. A year ago, I was THAT mom -- the one who seemed to have it all together, who had it all in some ways: two beautiful boys, a nice home, a good man and father to our kids. I cooked the meals and coordinated professional family photos, planned vacations, sent out Christmas cards, etc. I had a rigid schedule but made time to run and managed to be in decent physical shape. But something was missing. In my marriage, I felt alone. Why wasn't I happy? I met my ex when I was seventeen. He was four years older than me and I was smitten. He had a job, a truck, and a house. He had it all together. We got along great so dating him while I was in college seemed like the right thing to do. And of course, after college the next step w...
