Maybe it'll make the Chinese authorities think about more stringent safety rules. You'd also think that maybe there should be fewer really large industrial complexes where something could possibly go wrong. The Chinese tend to have that sense of the gigantic (of course, their population is over a billion, so they've got lot of people to cater for). Smaller may be a better guarantee for safety.

Death toll is now 104 and it was sodium cyanide that was dispersed. Nasty!

yup, they have a sodium cyanide contamination (not surprising since 700 tonnes of it blew up!):

Yet more and more graphic photos. Of the people still missing, the majority are thoughtg to be firefighters.

Apart from the deaths, Volkswagen have reported that 2,700 of its cars were destroyed and Renault report that it lost 1,500.
