Enormous explosion

A huge explosion has been reported in a major Chinese city.

The blast has been captured in stunning videos posted on social media, but as yet the cause of the apparent disaster unknown.

The incident took place in the city of Tianjin, a port around 90 miles south east of Beijing.

The blast can be seen in a number of stages - the first, a smaller explosion before a vast, blinding yellow light that across the horizon.

I think it's ridiculous when explosions as enormous as this are attributed to something as mundane as a gas explosion. In time we'll know more about what is going on over there, but for the present I'm expecting to hear a lot of nonsense about what caused it.

According to our ABC news:

Huge explosions have hit an industrial area in the north-eastern Chinese city of Tianjin, killing at least 44 people and injuring more than 400, state media says.

State broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV) said the blasts erupted in a shipment of explosives around 11:30pm local time, triggering a blast wave felt kilometres away.

Shattered glass could be observed up to three kilometres from the blast site.

At least 44 people were killed in the explosion, with more trapped by a huge fire unleashed by the explosives, Communist Party newspaper the People's Daily said.

Nine firefighters have been confirmed killed in the blasts, state media said. Earlier, authorities lost contact with 36 firefighters at the scene of the explosions, Beijing News cited Tianjin fire officials as saying.

'It's what we were told a nuclear bomb would look like': Utter devastation after explosions so big they registered as earthquakes rip through Chinese warehouse killing 44 including 11 firefighters

- At least 44 people killed, up to 400 injured and 36 firefighters reported missing after explosions in Tianjin, China
- Two explosions erupted in warehouse shipment of explosives at about 11.30pm local time, with blast felt miles away
- Dramatic videos of the explosion show flames erupting into the night sky as residents told how windows shattered

One of the comments reads:

I'm here in Beijing and tried to email you about this story DM. Our cellphones here are receiving warnings that between 4:50-5:35am local time based on wind currents that toxic fumes from the explosions will reach Beijing. We are being urged to keep doors and windows closed and avoid going outside. The worst part is that these are then followed by the advice that if you must go out wear a surgical mask. Unless I've completely missed my lessons in chemistry, a surgical mask will be entirely ineffective against a toxic cloud from a chemical/gas explosion. It is hard to know who to trust or what to do.

Stunning. The fleets of burned out cars, wow. Considering the condition of buildings nearby it's amazing the death toll wasn't higher. Prayers for the people. Thanks for the postings.

Sorry for being facetious, but if that had been in New York, all of those buildings around the site would have fallen down right?

I'm really not one to make everything into a conspiracy, but two things I might add would be that I read in one of the comments on one of the pages, that a Chinese super computer is housed not far away. The other thing being that in the days prior to this, as per my thread in Financial News, China had devalued their currency 2 days running.

I am one to also believe in the conspiracy of human ineptness, foolishness, and mismanagement. It is a great tool for those who want certain things to happen as well, just leave it up to greed and self interest and it will take care of itself kind of thing.

[The One]

Two weeks ago a devastating explosion took place in the port city of Tianjin, China. Official reports claimed a chemical storage facility had caught fire and exploded. Mobile phone footage taken by residents showed an enormous blast and fireball.

Within days, aerial photos revealed the stunning extent of the damage. A steaming black crater marks ground zero, while the apocalyptic surrounding landscape is charred and flattened. Rows of burnt-out cars and twisted shipping containers stretch into the distance on all sides.

The total burned area spans 20,000 square meters and continues to be dangerous—more explosions were reported by Chinese authorities on the 15th of August. Residents within a 3-mile radius have been relocated; at least 85 victims of the accident have been reported dead.

We were immediately suspicious, such huge explosions have to be viewed with suspicion these days when tactical nuclear weapons can and are used with alarming frequency – 9-11, The Khobar Towers, the Haiti Earthquake and most recently, air dropped on Yemen.

The key clue that allowed us to identify the use of a nuke in Yemen was the presence of scintillating pixels – white dots that flashed on and off briefly in the mobile phone videos of the explosion. The CCD imaging sensor within the camera phone is being struck by radiation thus causing a pixel to overload and appear white; in this way a mobile phone can serve double duty as a crude but effective radiation detector.

When the Tianjin blast occurred I immediately looked at the mobile phone footage of the blast and tried to find scintillating pixels; I couldn’t find any, but the huge white hot fireball and sheer size of the blast effect apparent in the footage (shaken buildings, breaking windows etc.) certainly didn’t feel like a conventional explosion to my relatively untrained eyes.

t was actually VT Contributor and expert on all things nuclear, Jeff Smith who taught us about scintillating pixels and the use of a mobile phone camera to detect radiation; therefore I consulted him about the lack of scintillation in the Tianjin footage:
Scintillation is based on the distance from the blast. The farther you get away from the blast the less neutron exposure you get. CCD Cameras will detect scintillation but only at high levels. They are not sensitive to far field radiation patterns. All CCD cameras were too far away to be sensitive enough to show scintillation properly.

So you have to look at the white out in the centre of the photo. This is where the brightness is so great that it overloads the ccd pickup chip causing a clipping effect. The fact that the fireball was whited out or clipped indicates that the colour temperature was over 4,000 degrees C. Only achievable in a nuclear blast. The cameras auto gain circuit clips the video level for being too bright so you get a white out on the screen.



No scintillation but a clear piece of evidence indicating a nuclear explosion in the form of the huge white fireball – once again, mobile phone footage proves useful in deciphering the truth.

The parking lots full of toasted cars

As reports and images became available, we studied them carefully for evidence of the use of a nuclear weapon and sadly, it was not long before we found it – the first big clue coming with the pictures of the thousands of toasted cars that looked eerily like those seen on 9-11.



While a layman like myself can recognise the overall similarity, it takes an expert to fully analyse the evidence contained in the pictures; luckily, at VT we have such an expert in the erstwhile Jeff Smith who provided the following analysis:

Normal people are not trained in what to look at so they simply ignore the obvious. However, once you see enough explosions like this you begin to spot the artefacts in the photos real fast. Unfortunately all of these people that know this stuff usually work for the government. Just like I did.

The big clue is in the ash produced and the exploding radiators on the cars. They show the radiation and the blast patterns the best. All melted rubber, glass, and aluminium but no melted steel? This tells you it is from radiation and not from a gasoline fire. Temps between 1500 degrees C for melting aluminium and less than 3,000 degrees C for melting steel. Everything organic ashes below 450 degrees C.

This had a plasma fireball that was over 4,000C! Only a nuke can do that. The clue is in the white ash leftover from the thermal blast.



A. The fuel tanks did not explode.

B. The rubber tires were ashed not burned see the white powder residue around the cars.

C. The radiators are all gone; indicating Freon explosions.

D. All the glass is ashed or melted; also the the glass was blown out not in.

E. All new white cars show extreme effects from very high temperature heating. The paint is badly damaged due to a very high oxidation rate effect.

F. Silicone rubber tires ash at 500 degrees centigrade. Glass ashes at 1500 degrees centigrade. Gasoline at 250 degrees centigrade. Tires melted but no gas tank explosions; just like on 911.

G. Yellow Volkswagen Beetle cars untouched due to location indicating radiation shielding from a nearby building. Just like on 911….

H. Finally and most important is all of the nano particle sized ash on the ground everywhere. Purple haze in photo is an indication of toxic levels of the gases fluorine, chlorine and sodium.

Conclusion; The damage to the cars was produced by neutron radiation damage and not by conventional explosives or a fuel-air explosion. The distance from ground zero is too great for a standard blast to melt the glass and tires. Also the cars fuel tanks were shielded from the heat of the ignition source.

So there you have it, the ‘smoking gun’ evidence of a nuke is to be found among the smoking wreckage of those incinerated cars. However, the pictures of burnt out cars contain more evidence to be analysed before we move on to the other evidence.
