im sure everyone has seen the mind blowing clips in china of the chemical store going up.

wonder how much will get covered up by the government as they dont want to be seen as a failure
the number of 50 dead must be only a fraction of the real number as over 30 firefighters alone are unaccounted for.

I feel uncomfortable when I see this described as a 'mind blowing' event, given the loss of life.

But hey ho. I'm a f*cking mental liberal.

Depends if they can find someone to pin the blame on.
I agree with Thundercat that some of the press is rather dubious in how it portrays it. Could do with some toning down given the possible loss of life.

Perhaps. But then maybe we follow the news because it is entertaining?
