Yeah the second explosion was after that video that caused the whole place to turn into a fireball.It wasnt long after until the massive one happened.You would have a hard time making that distance after being that close though.
Hopefully they got lucky and were one of the ones shielded by debris and got pulled out later. --- I'm surrounded ... Copied to Clipboard!

If the picture of them standing literal inches away from the aluminum nitrate is real, they should do their due diligence. hell, judging by the picture, whoever ordered the welding in the first place should have had to clear out several tonnes of it to clear safety precautions, those things look heavy. in a first world country, with proper welding license system, the welder should just refuse to work that until proper precautions are met, but who knows how safe it is for a worker to refuse orders over there. --- ...

Holy shit. I just read theres 300,000 people homeless and the port is where much of their economy is from. This is looking terrifying. Hopefully other countries can provide some serious aid. Whats sad is that some locals dont want the aid, at least not through the usual channels, because they know that if the money goes through their corrupt government itll just end up stolen/laundered/whatever. ...
