So, there was an accident recently with approximately 50 deaths and hundreds of injured people. 

 

A chemical explosion occured in some stock house or something. Containers and cars were molten down and the surrounding buildings got heavily damaged by the pressure wave of the huge explosion(s).

 

 

Here is a good video. In case you can't watch it due to facebook stuff, here is a youtube video (with more distance to the explosion).

 

 

Just some news I wanted to share.

I got woken up at 4AM by a chain of WeChat messages from cousin and dad, all of which are about all the god damn false news that are being spread on Chinese social networks by arseholes in regards to the accident, all in an attempt to rile people up over there.

 

I think we could do with a News thread of some sort where people can just talk about random news. I mean, there's really nothing to comment about regarding the explosion, it's just an unfortunate event that happened, that's that.

This video in particular is just insane, you can see the sheer power of the explosion. The warehouse in front of the camera just gets vaporized and the ground wells up from the shockwave.

 

There's no way only 50 people died, expect the death toll to jump.

We should stop joking about Russian engineering and instead do Chinese engineering, as that has killed loads more.

Media always hides the truth.

 

Few months ago a big train accident happened 12 miles from my house. The news said only 19 people died but over 90 actually did  :sad:

Another example being the Utøya-massacre here in Norway, which got no coverage in any major news stations as Whitney Huoston or whatever that coke-snorting f*ck`s name was, which was the most tragic happening in Norway since the WWII, and over 80 kids, yes, kids got shot and killed by Anders Bering Breivik. He cannot be placed in a normal jail, because other jailmates would kill him.

 

But Whitney Houston around the same time, so of course that needed more coverage by news channels like Fox, CNN, BBC...

Honestly, I'm not surprised that news broadcasters hide a lot of significant stuff.

 

Here in the UK we get some story about a cat stuck up a tree or some fuzzy bunny while the real important stuff, say, how the country is going even more right wing gets swept under the carpet (along with the abused children) because the establishment doesn't like telling the truth.

 

 

Ask a politician a simple yes-no question like whether they like marmite or not and they'll write you a fuzzy bunnyng speech and at the end of it you still can't figure out if they said yes or no.

Huh? That got massive coverage in France at least, and I remember it being all over news-aggregator US websites like Reddit. Maybe not so much in mainstream media though. It made me kind of pissed tbh, covering it was necessary and important but they gave way too much importance to the murderer himself and his "manifesto". I like that they stopped talking about him later on, remember the tragedy but don't cite his name, that's what he wants, a legacy. He even said it, he did it to bring attention to him and his ideas, he wanted his trial to be public, don't let that piece of fuzzy bunny get any satisfaction.

 

Let his name fade into nothing, history needs to remember his victims not the murderer himself.

I remember the massacre getting quite a bit of coverage, don't remember where I was at the time though.
