Tianjin Explosion: Look At The Massive Crater From City Blasts [PHOTOS]

Explosions are happening left and right - and that's certainly not a good thing. Just last night, there was a bombing in central Bangkok.

Last week, there was the Tianjin explosion in China. Now that everyone's suffering the aftermath, aerial photos have surfaced revealing the massive crater that was left behind by the Tianjin port explosion.

There were two massive explosions at a warehouse -- which was storing some highly dangerous and flammable chemicals. The two explosions prompted a series of small fires and blasts as well.

Watch the video below.

With the large scale of the fires and blast, Unilad reports that there have been 112 deaths from the explosion, while hundreds are still suffering from injuries or are missing.

The photos reveal such a heartbreaking sight, showing that the city is now left in ruins. In fact, around 8,000 cars have been corrupted and melted surrounding the city's remnants.

The photo below shows the before and after of the explosions; giving a glimpse into the massive change that has been done to the city after one unfortunate night.

The city comprises of 15 million people, and according to reports, residents living in apartment blocks miles away could actually feel the shockwaves from the explosions.

Since then, thousands of people and residents have been forced to vacate the areas around the warehouse, approximately 6,000 people. Authorities have admitted that the lethal chemicals found in the warehouse were illegally stored.

In addition, the Chinese police also confirmed on Saturday that sodium cyanide - a chemical that can cause death when ingested or inhaled -- is present in the location of the blast. There is now a two-mile exclusion zone.

As of the time of writing, it is still unclear on what had triggered the two blasts, which were approximately 30 seconds apart.
