I am sorry to ask, but I just got off work and I don't seem to be able to find the answer: What happened? I get that there was a huge explosion, there's less than 20 people dead and 300 injured, it was in Tianjin in a residential area...but what happened? What exploded? Do we know yet?
Gas leak at a chemical plant. Industrial failure. The gas explosion (comparatively small) caught some nearby chemical tanks on fire and the firefighters couldn't put them out in time, which led to a second, much more massive explosion.

Thank you for the update. This is really disheartening, but at least it's not an attack or something of the ilk.
