Blasts lit up the night sky, say Chinese witnesses
Beijing: The massive explosions in China’s post city of Tianjin, killing 17 people and leaving over 400 injured, lit up the night sky and shattered windows. Witnesses on Thursday recalled that it looked as bright as it was daytime.
Truck driver Hu Xiaoliang, 32, woke up on Wednesday night on hearing a strong blast which threw him away from beneath his truck, where he and his co-workers were resting, a news agency reported.
The explosion ripped through the Ruihai warehouse, which stores dangerous goods, following a fire report half an hour earlier.
Hu saw fire-fighters rush to the site. Another blast followed, and more fire-fighters rushed in.
Two fire-fighters have been reported missing and another four were injured in the battle against the fire.
“It’s all black and smog, I can’t see anything inside. Some of my colleagues had even worse injuries,” an injured fire-fighter in his 20s told Xinhua.
Smog billowed from the site. In a nearby apartment complex, the balconies of many apartment buildings were shattered.
Du Wenjun, a resident in north China’s Tianjin Municipality, never imaged that he would see a “mushroom cloud” outside the window of his home.
A video clip of a witness showed that the heavy smoke covered the sky, shortly after fires raged, accompanied by loud bangs.
Zhao Lirong, a 35-year-old businesswoman, was asleep when the blast blew off the windows and doors of her apartment, hitting her head, her son’s neck and her husband’s feet.
A female resident, surnamed Zhang, who lives a 10-minute-drive from the site, told sohu.com that she was looking after her child at home when a strong light appeared outside, making the night sky as bright as it was in the daytime, China Daily reported.
Blood stains were splattered on the floors of hospitals that received injured patients.
People rushed into the streets in their pyjamas, and some worried that an earthquake could occur.
There was heavy traffic congestion at 1 a.m. on the street near the warehouse, according to Lu Qing, a witness.

The mission focuses on helping families of terminally ill patients in hospitals by providing food and shelter. It also works to fulfill essential needs like education, jobs, and care for the elderly.
For the last 16 years, the Vijay Sri Foundation has been providing free services, benefiting thousands of people. Vishal Singh highlighted that the mission aims to gain global recognition like other organizations such as WHO, WWF, and Red Cross, which work for social causes.
During this meeting, Vishal Singh was appointed as the Chairman of the Hunger Free World Mission by representatives from various countries. They also discussed holding regular meetings in different countries to push the mission forward.

Despite contracting the virus himself, he continued to assist others after his recovery. He even created a life-saving oxygen regulator using household items, which was praised by doctors both in India and abroad.
In his address at the meeting, Vishal Singh spoke about his mission to create a hunger-free world. He pointed out that India’s large population, along with issues like unemployment and poverty, has caused the country to fall on the Hunger Index. He urged people to contribute just one handful of grains daily to help create a hunger-free world.
He concluded by saying that through social participation, we can empower the people around us, meet their basic needs, and work together to build a stronger, more prosperous, and developed society.
