The actual explosion was equal to 0.34kt nuke. The little boy was 15kt. That's about 50 times bigger already and the little boy was a tiny nuke in comparison to the following ones and to the ones today I will be honest here, I wanted to call bulshit on the "thousands of times" part but when you actually do the numbers, you are indeed correct
Hiroshima had a yield equivalent to 20,000 tons(20ktons) of TNT. Compare that to the Tianjin disaster, and you'll notice they're a world apart. As you said, multiplied by thousands. But look at the yield of Zsar Bomba, at 50,000,000 tons(5000 KTons... i think, its 2;00 am) and that sets the bar even higher. My point is that even though it could be looked at as similar, there's still no comparison between chemical bleve explosions and a nuke.
Geez the whole sky turned red... Must've felt like some kinda apocalypse considering that they had no idea what was going on at the time. Would've been even more terrifying if there was sound.
Holy shit this is really close. I did a quick calculation and found that this guy was around 850 meters from the explosion. Calculation: The temperature at Tianjin on Aug 12 at around 12:00 am was around 26 celcius and the relative humidity was 49%, meaning sound travels at around 347.76m/s. It took around 2.44 seconds for the shock-wave to arrive so it was approx 850m from the explosion.
I can't believe how calm they were reversing away from that, you wouldn't have seen me for dust. Car would have been propelled by the sheer power of NOPE
99% of the people commenting here think they are born comedians. They all have lost their sense of reality and affection. Once your own life is affected, you will all pay for your lack of compassion because you will not notice it until you are looking death in the face. And there will be no savegame to start over. The people that where killed are GONE. They had family and friends that are grieving, and all you do is joke about it. If any of you still have a spec of shame, start feeling it.
Joking about tragedy is basic human psychological strategy. Most people who can laugh at tragedies if presented with the possibility of humour are not vile evil people but the majority. If this happens near them they are just as likely to help as any other people.
oystein yeah there's such a thing as gallows humor but the majority of the " lel " and " kek " comments from ppl on here isn't that. Easily summarized as a person in the noose making a joke, that's gallows humor ( or dark / black comedy as it's more familiarly known ) but if the audience points up at the person in the noose and cracks a joke? that's just part of the execution. No one actually involved in this blast, or dare I say even people FROM china , are cracking jokes on this vid. Just edge lords with youtube accounts. Saying " uhm?? ppl make jokes??? at tragedy victims expense?? to cope??? " is such an old way of trying to justify that. It'd be so much easier just to say you dont empathize with the victims and still make your horrible jokes and own that.
0:41 That blast wave is amazing. Not that I would have wanted to be there. That meteor thing at 0:55 is also interesting. I wonder if those containers were also storing fireworks.
first explosion *Butthole slams shut* second explosion *Butthole Implodes, turning into black hole and sending guard shack into an alternative dimension...*
Holy shit. I love how you can see the shockwave traveling towards you at the trees left side! Also i think by the second explosion you can even see the light bending in the middle of the screen. Absolutly stunning.
Wow, I didn't even notice the small silhouettes running away from the blast on the road until I watched it again. That second blast must have knocked them off their feet.
For the second explosion, if you put your speed at 0.25, you can see the trees in the distance getting almost ripped off of their roots by the shock-wave. Thank God I wasn't there.
five places not do be: syria ammo plant explosion tianjin gas plant explosion moab alfghanistan heroshima nuke nagasaki nuke but indeed the heroshima and nagasaki were much worse at that range the light alone wouldve vaporized the camera
We know sound waves are fast--1225 kilometers per hour at sea level--but we generally aren't able to gauge visually just how fast that is. This video actually helps a lot; watch the behavior of the trees lining the roadway during the second explosion. No doubt, it looks fast--easily the fastest thing on that road besides light--but it really does seem slower than you'd think. An interesting way to demonstrate how sound waves take a noticeably fair amount of time to traverse even visibly walkable distances.
if it was a nuclear warhead at that range u wouldent even have time to have ur brain register it as an explosion since the stronger the shockwave the faster it is it would mean that in 0.435 seconds it would shred u but not before u get 3rd degree burns thatl litterally burn ur eyes out and ears and ur nerves will be destroyed before a bone crushing shockwave turns u into dust and the only thing that would remain is a creepy caskading shadow on the ground behind where a person once stood
Toll booth worker guy: Hey bill, how you doin today Driver in car: oh you know, same old, just comin to put in some hours *explosion* *Car backs away slowly* Driver: Nope, not today
At the end it looked like a fucking Dinosaur extinction documentary shot
exactly what i was thinking
徐启凡 Extinct duh. Didn't you read the comment :^)
Hashed Prod. Exactly wtf i was thinking
Hashed Prod. You could think this was almost the same blast as the russian meteorite
IAA015 I would say this had more damage since the Meteorite was moving
For those of you that care, this was just under 1km away from the blast - just goes to show the scale...
"Welcome to hell" *opens gate*
panda756 I feel like a bad person for snorting when I read that. :( lol
+FantasticMrOwen people always die
***** too soon?
***** Haha lol
***** because the last 10 years in the army fucked me up?
Imagine if the driver were just a minute earlier. Scary shit.
Tsuken That's why I'm late everywhere I go... just in case.
***** That is nonsense. You could be leaving that place as well and then end up in the middle of it.
***** That works both ways genius. You're already dead
The driver before him was.
Tsuken Well nothing would have happened... he was quite far.
One hell of a shockwave. Holy shit.
Thagyr And now just imagine that this is kindergarten shit against a nuke...
Rechtes Twix And now immagine that a nuke is kidergarten shit against the H bomb (Tsar Bomb)...
mentaljedi WOW
Andrew Lewer Makes me very uncomfortable to live near a major city :^)
***** Because everyone loves playing i have the biggest dick game
Now can you imagine nuclear war?? That explosion multiply by thousands more powerful would flattened everything
can't even imagine a nuclear explosion because it would vaporize everyone close enough to observe it within seconds
The actual explosion was equal to 0.34kt nuke. The little boy was 15kt. That's about 50 times bigger already and the little boy was a tiny nuke in comparison to the following ones and to the ones today

Gate: Alright, go right on in
(Massive fucking explosion)
Car: Uh.... No thanks.
Driver: Yeah, thanks..., I think I'll pass this time. Getting home ain't that serious, I can always stay at a motel FAR away from this location.
The second shockwave snapped that security gate. Holy crap!
Mark Dixon not to forget that post, it forced its light off for a while :/
Geez the whole sky turned red... Must've felt like some kinda apocalypse considering that they had no idea what was going on at the time. Would've been even more terrifying if there was sound.
Sgt. Mickle
*_KABLAMMO!!!_*
There's your sound :-)
I Love Jesus You forgot about the wo cao
Right. You don't know if you're being bombed or what. That is a true absolute nightmare.
Heres you sound
bop..... *K A B O O M*
Michael Bay is taking notes
FPSONNY nahh, he scripted this.
FPSONNY LOL
FPSONNY You mean the animators who work for him. Michael Bay does jack shit.
+FPSONNY Michael Bay Heavy breathing.

Iris Ho this video has no sound ?
@@Kuri0 The shock wave was traveling at the speed of sound.
0:05 even the tollgate is like ''i'm getting the fuck out of here''
wtf that shockwave its nuts
PogChamp Kappa DansGame
PogChamp Kappa ANELE
The slow back up is priceless...
Nope..Nope...Nope xd
First explosion registered as a 2.3 on the Richter Scale, the second as a 2.9 and could be seen from outer space with the naked eye.
Source?
Trump said so. Louisiana was almost hit.
0:06 "Welcome to hell! Please pull forward!"
0:39 "We SAID *PULL FORWARD* !!!"
Second impact was insane!
and allthought more veloce than the first one...
it's all a NERV/SEELE cover up. Tokyo City 3 has a fourth Eva Unit, Kwaru is an angel
when you gotta decide between going to work or escaping the apocalypse
That shockwave and big fire light feels like atomic bomb
These are the times on youtube I don't make any jokes.
I like how he starts to back up like.."yah, maybe I don't want to go there."
I can't believe how calm they were reversing away from that, you wouldn't have seen me for dust. Car would have been propelled by the sheer power of NOPE
Heh, I wonder what "Oh FUCK... BACK UP!" is in Mandarin? :-p
+ironwolfF1 According to google translate it is: 哦他妈的备份
+Jim Sagubigula That means o fuck backup (my computer file)
DamienYok LOL
+DamienYok I know.
RIP those who couldn't survive, and wish the survivors speedy and healthy recovery.
Pretty sure this is how Akira starts
Lol gud joke FAM!!!
If I was the driver in that car, my first thought would be WW3
damn...you can see the shock wave coming!
That second explosion. Just wow.
This was just a test to see how emergency services would respond when 90% of them were killed immediately.
So after seeing the first one I thought it was pretty bad, then the second shockwave holy shit.
I can feel the "nope nope nope nope nope" in the video
Starting from 0:48 to the end of the video: Nope nope nope nope SO MUCH NOPE!
Hwan Lee he bailed. the car hadn't the brakes on.
***** he bailed at 0:46
Hwan Lee I would have NOPEd the hell outta there like there's no tomorrow.
Rickn'Roll What? How does he put the car in gear and start driving forward at the end then?
not something to joke around, when you see things like these, you are looking at peoples lives on the line.
0:08 "Uh, did I leave my oven on." 0:42 "Yep, I damn sure did. Good luck fellas."

How do you know there is no start over
the video looks like: "Hey let me in" Huge Explosion "Neeevermind im going back" o-o
0:41 That blast wave is amazing. Not that I would have wanted to be there. That meteor thing at 0:55 is also interesting. I wonder if those containers were also storing fireworks.
that second Shockwave was way worse than the first one
first explosion
*Butthole slams shut*
second explosion
*Butthole Implodes, turning into black hole and sending guard shack into an alternative dimension...*
Haha i was wondering myself how long it took surgeons to remove the car seat from the drivers asshole but i think your scenario is more likely
Holy shit. I love how you can see the shockwave traveling towards you at the trees left side! Also i think by the second explosion you can even see the light bending in the middle of the screen. Absolutly stunning.
i'd be on 100 mph already, calmed guy
"Well shit, I don't have to go that way after all"
*backs up*
Michael Bay just outdid himself with this one.
"On second thought, I don't think I'll be going that way"
Umm... how bout i dont go to work today
People thought they were at war.
Screw that - im turning around!
Rich G leaves quietly
First explosion - NOPE
Second explosion - NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE
It almoat looks like an asteroid hit.
For where he was it looked like the end of the world.
R.I.P. all who died
That second, 21 ton explosion gave me chills. It looked like a fucking movie
0:08 "Actually...I think I may skip work today."
0:40 "Yeah..definitely skipping."
The trees being pushed almost horizontally at the last explosion... simply... awe struck.
It close as atomic bomb went off but you can get idea how powerful it was
Terrible! I feel sorry for people who live there.And the firemen are really brave!
Night to day in a split second.
it was like atom bomb explosion...
Amazing how you can clearly see the shockwave approaching
>Gets to the front gate
*EXPLOSION*
"Yeah, I'm gonna work from home today"
[Backs away]
*BIG EXPLOSION*
"Fuck it. I quit"
[continues backing away]
That second shockwave was pretty intense
a movie will be made of this
pure original then hollywood film
Wow, it was so massive, the light of the explosion made it look like it was day time.
That was fucking dope.
Inognito didnt More people die there than in 9/11? If yes then go to the incident and comment "That was fucking dope"
Barrier pole gets bent by the shockwave...
Thanks for sharing! This is an amazing shot! I can't begin to think what that must have felt like...
omg I have goosebump watching this. the shockwave cut the power right after ppl get into the house. so lucky
Michael Bay Approves.
On 0:57 on top left, looks like it hit a construction crane just next to a building.
Security opens Gate:You can go
Driver:OK,see you.....*See explosion*
Driver:Nope Nope Nope Nope NOPE!
*gate opens*
*BOOOOOOOM*
You know... I don't know if I actually want to go through here...
I gave this one i like because it perfectly shows what the power of the explosion was
This was caused by Saitama using his Serious Serious Punch
Wow, I didn't even notice the small silhouettes running away from the blast on the road until I watched it again. That second blast must have knocked them off their feet.
second blast is insane, as well as the driver who is just rolling back slowly.
homer-back-away-slowly.gif
I think in the view of person
They think about end of world
For the second explosion, if you put your speed at 0.25, you can see the trees in the distance getting almost ripped off of their roots by the shock-wave. Thank God I wasn't there.
five places not do be: syria ammo plant explosion tianjin gas plant explosion moab alfghanistan heroshima nuke nagasaki nuke
but indeed the heroshima and nagasaki were much worse at that range the light alone wouldve vaporized the camera
It feels like a movie but it's happening in real life. This is so scary!
Damn!! There’s buildings and everything in the way and that shockwave still forced its way through!
wow! like just wow! I think seeing the shockwaves is the coolest part.
I don't know about you, but I'd be backing up a hell of a lot further and faster than that!
We know sound waves are fast--1225 kilometers per hour at sea level--but we generally aren't able to gauge visually just how fast that is. This video actually helps a lot; watch the behavior of the trees lining the roadway during the second explosion.

An interesting way to demonstrate how sound waves take a noticeably fair amount of time to traverse even visibly walkable distances.
I’m Chinese and I can’t damn stop watching this.
Holy crap. Look how the second shockwave shakes those trees.
I would have thought that a god damn nuclear warhead had gone off.
if it was a nuclear warhead at that range u wouldent even have time to have ur brain register it as an explosion since the stronger the shockwave the faster it is it would mean that in 0.435 seconds it would shred u but not before u get 3rd degree burns thatl litterally burn ur eyes out and ears and ur nerves will be destroyed before a bone crushing shockwave turns u into dust and the only thing that would remain is a creepy caskading shadow on the ground behind where a person once stood
There's about 700 copies of this one video on RUclips. If this had happened in Russia, there would be thousands of different dashcam angles.
At that moment you gotta believe the world is coming to an end, crazy video.
0:37 those 3 ppl in the left are the luckiest ppl in the world
Get in a structure right before the shockwave came
can't imagine being closer 😱 poor people who were too close. this gives me anxiety
i'll be scared as fuck thinking a nuke just went off. holy shit.
0:06 Come on in!
Toll booth worker guy: Hey bill, how you doin today
Driver in car: oh you know, same old, just comin to put in some hours
*explosion*
*Car backs away slowly*
Driver: Nope, not today
almost looks like a nuke impact
Could you imagine how loud it was for those people?
It looks like hollywood movie effect
but its a real incident
My god that second explosion bent back the metal barrier!
The second one is like 5 times stringer than the first one, it's just insane.
"Uhhhh.....Nevermind. I decided I don't want to go this way."
Shenron!!!! My first wish would be...
He's backing up like... Think I'll just call in today.
