Report: Tianjin Death Toll Rises To 44 in China Explosion


A day after two major explosions struck China’s northern port city of Tianjin, the death toll has risen to 44 with over 500 others injured.

Two blasts happened in a warehouse storing ‘dangerous and chemical goods’ in the port area of the city. Twelve firefighters were among the dead.

The blast which occurred on Wednesday, caused a huge fireball that could be seen from space.

Buildings within a 2km radius had windows blown out, office blocks were destroyed and hundreds of cars burnt-out.
