    Hundreds of casualties it seems. Not good.

    Not surprised after seeing the video. What a horrific incident.

    I might look that up. I think I've got enough info there to do a reasonable search. :)

    Yep I usually gym 4 or 5 times a week! That and I can't work for 3 weeks at least. So I will probably go insane. So if you see any mad ramberlings from me you know why.

    Yeah that explosion was huge. Shame it seems there is loads of people that have lost their lives.

    To be far, he is 90. And I'm sure he'll be around for some time yet. 90 is a bloody good innings.

    Sadly due to how crowded the area is I can see it being 100's dead and 1000's injured. China really needs to sort its safety standards out.

    I must admit, seeing that video did make me think that 7 was a very conservative estimate from someone on the ground.

    I saw another clip that showed fire fighters trying in vain to put out the smaller explosion. Then the larger one went off and they disappeared. :(
