Whatever caused the explosion there has certainly been an official cover-up in China leading to some ludicrous explanations.
"Mystery" Cyanide Foam Covers Streets In China As "Massive Fish Die-Off" Observed After Tianjin Explosion
20
August, 2015
Update:
The latest images from the massive fish die-off...
On
Wednesday evening we
noted that China,
in what looks like an attempt to discourage investigative reports
into Communist Party culpability for the explosion at Tianjin which
killed more than a hundred people and injured more than 700 last
week, revealed the previously unnamed majority shareholders of
Tianjin International Ruihai Logistics.
The
two men - a Mr. Yu and a Mr. Dong - have Party ties and admitted to
using their political connections to skirt restrictions on the
storage and handling of hazardous chemicals like sodium cyanide.
That
admission isn’t likely to satisfy the Chinese public, which is
looking for the head (figuratively speaking we hope) of someone
higher up in the party, as scapegoating a few locals with tenuous
Party ties doesn’t seem to constitute the type of wholesale,
rigorous investigation that would indicate Beijing is serious about
getting to the bottom of how 700 tonnes of toxic chemicals ended up
being stored at a facility that was only licensed to warehouse a
fraction of that total.
In
any event, the "cyanide
thunderstorms"
we warned were rolling into the area have now blanketed Tianjin in a
"mysterious" white foam. The
images are below.
And
as The South
China Morning Post reports,
some claimed the rain had burned their skin and lips, which would be
consistent with a text message purported to have emanated from the
American Embassy (which immediately denied its authenticity) advising
workers to "avoid ALL contact" between their skin and any
rain:
Some
residents and journalists near the blast site in Tianjin experienced
skin burns as rain hit the Binhai New Area on Tuesday.
Amid
fears the rain could spark toxic reactions with chemicals at the site
- in particular with hundreds of tonnes of sodium cyanide - an
official urged the public to "stay far away".
As
the rain progressed, an unusual white foam emerged on roads near the
blast site. A journalist for Caixin reported feeling burns on the
lips and arms after being exposed to the rain.
As
for the official explanation for why the streets in Tianjin are now
running white with what might very well be an extremely toxic,
cyanide-laced foam, Tianjin's environmental monitoring center says
it's "a
normal phenomenon when rain falls, and similar things have occurred
before."
And
in case that wasn't enough of a punchline for you, here's a look at
what happened after no chemicals were detected in the seawater around
the blast site:

Cyanide levels ‘356 times higher than permitted’ found at Tianjin blast site – Chinese official
RT,
20
August, 2015
Staggeringly
high cyanide levels have been found at the Tianjin blast site, with
one spot exceeding the permitted amount by 356 times. It comes as
residents demand compensation from the government and express fears
of returning home following last week's deadly explosion.
"An
excessive level of cyanide was detected in eight locations, with the
highest reaching 356 times" the
permitted level, Ministry of Environmental Protection official Tian
Weiyong said.
"Cyanide
pollution is severe inside the warning zone. Outside the zone
overall, the amount of cyanide detected is at normal range," he dded.
'We can't live here'
It
comes just one day after protesters braved the rain during a
demonstration in Tianjin, stressing that their homes have been
destroyed and health jeopardized. The protesters, many wearing masks,
held banners and shouted slogans.

“You
know when these chemical facilities blow up, all these harmful
objects get buried in the surrounding areas, so we don't dare to live
there, it's going to have an impact on our health, our family's
health and especially our children's health,”36-year-old
homeowner Mr. Zhang told Reuters.
Earlier
this week, one of China's most well-known philanthropists was taken
to hospital after inhaling poisoned
air while aiding the cleanup efforts.
Three
days ago, residents who fled their homes following the deadly
explosions gathered to demand compensation from the government, which
they say is ignoring their plight.
Around
150 people descended on a hotel where government and military
officials were holding a press briefing on the disaster,
shouting “Buy
back!” as
they demanded payment for their lost homes and possessions, AFP
reported.
"The
water, the air, the underground water are polluted," fashion
designer Liu Liang said, adding that he and other residents are being
improperly treated by the government. "We
can't live here," he
added.

Another
person present at the demonstration, Wen Jing, said she and her
family “can't
go back to our home,” adding
that it was “totally” damaged
by the blasts.
She
also expressed frustration with officials who “haven't
spoken a word to us yet...no one has noticed us yet. No one [has]
said anything to us.”
Thousands
of people have been left displaced after their homes were either
destroyed or deemed unsafe to return to.
UN criticism
On
Wednesday, a top UN expert also criticized China on its handling of
the chemical blasts, saying that better communication and information
could have lessened or even prevented the нdisaster.
"The
lack of information when needed -- information that could have
mitigated or perhaps even prevented this disaster -- is truly
tragic," Baskut
Tuncak, the UN's special rapporteur on human rights and hazardous
substances and waste, said in a statement.

He
added that the “reported
restrictions on public access to health and safety information and
freedom of the press in the aftermath are deeply
disturbing,” particularly
because it risks increasing the number of victims of the нdisaster.
At
least 114 people were killed and 700 injured by last
week's explosions at
a warehouse storing hazardous chemicals in Tianjin's port. Around 70
people are still missing.
Further
blasts three days after the initial explosions prompted police
to evacuate those
within a three-mile radius. The cause of the blasts is not yet clear,
though media reports have suggested that safety violations and
corporate negligence may have played a role. A massive cleanup
operation is still underway.
Here is the conspiracy theory version of things
Tianjin explosion leads to massive fish die-off, mysterious foam falls out of the sky, burning the skin of citizens as Chinese government declares everything's fine
20
August, 2015
(NaturalNews)
The first pictures of the mass fish die-offs and cyanide-infused
rainfall have now emerged from Tianjin, China, following the
catastrophic blast that has unleashed a wave of speculation about its
real cause. Chinese dissidents told
Natural News they believe the blast was carried out by the Pentagon
using an exotic space-based weapon,
and that it was intended to send a message to China to stop devaluing
the yuan (i.e. currency wars).
The official explanation from the Chinese government -- which tells the truth about as rarely as the Obama administration -- is that this was merely a chemical explosion caused by some local business knuckleheads storing too much sodium cyanide in a storage facility.
Chinese dissidents told Natural News that this was a secondary explosion, and indeed, there are multiple reports of two explosions taking place at Tianjin ground zero.
From the BBC:
The China Earthquake Networks Centre said the initial explosion, in a city with a population of around 15 million, had a power equivalent to three tonnes of TNT detonating, while the second was the equivalent of 21 tonnes. The second was so big that satellites orbiting Earth picked it up as well. Chinese data site Cnbeta published pictures showing the sudden flare.
In other words, there was an initial explosion which set off a secondary explosion that was 700% larger. The initial explosion, we've been told, was the result of the Pentagon's "Rod of God" space weapon. Notably, the placement of this weapon would mean that the Pentagon had knowledge of vulnerable chemical storage dumps which could be targeted for chain reaction mega-explosions.
The result? An explosion so large it was easily seen from space. Here's a large automobile storage lot where cars were all but melted by the blast:

Sodium cyanide declared "totally safe" by the insane Chinese government
The
secondary blast consisted of 700 tons of sodium cyanide detonating in
an explosion that many of us still compare to a tactical
nuclear strike.
Sodium cyanide, when it gets wet, releases hydrogen cyanide, a deadly substance that can poison skin with direct contact. Inhaling it can lead to severe burns of the lungs, and when it enters the water supply, it devastates lifes.
Here are some of the photos of the dead fish that are now surfacing. Hat tip to HK.on.ccand Shanghaiist.com for the photos:

Tianjin citizens covered in cyanide foam, skin burns reported
Although
the Chinese government insists the area is totally safe -- yeah, and
the EPA says it doesn't pollute rivers, either -- photos from Tianjin
reveal a mysterious
cyanide foam raining down on the citizens.
"Some who made contact with it are reporting a burning sensation on their face and lips, while others are reporting a stinging sensation on their arms. Some have said they experienced an itchy sensation," reports Shanghaiist.com:
Hilariously,
the Chinese government insists "...that the pollutants are
contained and not at risk of spreading beyond the evacuated area."
(BBC)
The Guardian adds:
Niu Yuegang, deputy director at Tianjin’s fire department, confirmed that over 40 different types of chemicals have now been discovered at the blast site, including 700 tonnes of sodium cyanide, 800 tonnes of ammonium nitrate and 500 tonnes of potassium nitrate, according to local reports.
U.S. agricultural manufacturer John Deere was even forced to halt production in Tianjindue to the explosion and toxic chemicals.

Official stories are always a laugh riot
China's
official story is that this is all the fault of some
uniquely dishonest local business people who
stored chemicals without a permit.
Yeah, right, because everywhere else in China, everybody follows the permitting rules for storing chemicals. Hilarious.
China's rapid scapegoating of this individual for the explosion is obviously a desperate ploy to silence all the talk of other theories that better explain what happened.
The official story, notably, in no way explains what ignited the chemicals in the first place. If you believe in the laws of chemistry and physics, you know these chemicals don't just spontaneously ignite without cause. Something had to trigger the first detonation which then triggered the secondary explosion.
China's total cover-up of the cause of the first detonation will only lead to more speculation about the real causes behind this large-scale catastrophe.
