Xi Jinping became China's president in 2013. In 2015, an explosion occurred in Tianjin, a major trading city next to the Chinese capital.
The explosion was as powerful as a tactical nuclear weapon. People within 1.5 kilometers were basically vaporized. People who were farther away but still within 3 kilometers were instantly burnt. People who were farther away were seriously injured or poisoned by the toxic gas.
500 civilians were vaporized, 800 were burned, and 100 firefighters were vaporized or burned.
Between 10,000 and 15,000 people, perhaps closer to 20,000, were injured and inhaled poison gas.
Chinese authorities said 500 people died, but many people who participated in the rescue said at least 1,400 people died. Some photos appeared in the media.
The Chinese government said it was a factory explosion, but no one believed it. Everyone thought it was an explosion caused by conflicts between Chinese officials. Xi Jinping only has an elementary school education and has not even attended high school. Various factions tried to sideline him and even went so far as to detonate a bomb in Tianjin, which is the economic region that Xi Jinping values the most. Some people also said that Xi Jinping was inspecting the area at the time. In short, it is basically certain that the explosion was man-made. The day before the explosion, a special combat team entered the building. We don’t know whether it was related to the explosion or who sent it.
We used online materials to restore the scene at the time.
