Just watched that, did you guys watch it?
Crazy explosion.
Tianjin, China (CNN)Crews searched for an unknown number of civilians and soldiers Saturday who are believed trapped by multiple explosions that killed at least 104 people this week in this eastern Chinese city.
As of Saturday evening, more than 40 people have been rescued in Tianjin, including a 19-year-old firefighter who lay on the ground for hours with burns and a cracked skull until he was found, officials said.
Relatives of those still missing stormed an official press conference demanding to know the whereabouts of their loved ones. Families wrote the names of missing persons on posters lining a street outside a temporary shelter near the rescue site.
Earlier Saturday, fires sent plumes of black smoke skyward near where explosions devastated a chemical warehouse in Tianjin on Wednesday.
But officials denied news reports that an evacuation order had been immediately issued for everyone within 1.8 miles (3 kilometers), with Tianjin government spokesman Gong Jiansheng calling the reports "false information."
The Beijing News, citing the People's Armed Police Force, had reported the evacuation order. CNN has reported that at least one disaster recovery shelter is located within the reported evacuation zone.
However, photographs made it appear that vehicles in a parking lot had caught fire rather than new explosions having taken place at the warehouse, as the Xinhua news agency had reported
