Probably built beside a school and a hospital.

Chinese authorities initially reported an earthquake of 2.9 magnitude.

Twitter has lots of videos. I was going to post one from a security camera, but I can't see how the guy in it could possibly have survived, so I'd rather not post it.

The guy who did this graphic reckons the bomb is '1/3rd the size of Hiroshima'.

I think his maths is off. The radius looks 1/3rd to me. But the area increases with the square of the radius surely?

Aye, so 1/9th the size, not a 1/3rd.

I am starting to see videos from #Tianjin that I wish I had not seen. Be careful in that hashtag, folks. :`(
