Dozens of building collapsed are cars were burned out. China’s People’s Daily newspaper has reported 17 people dead so far from the violent explosions at the dock at the Tianjin Binhai New Development Zone. An additional 32 have serious injuries and 283 others are currently hospitalized, the newspaper reported. Reporters have been moved 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) from the explosion zone as the surrounding buildings are collapsing, and all residents have been evacuated.

There was concern that high winds in the area could cause yet another blast. Only one group of firefighters were currently on site, in case of further explosions and to reduce the possibility of more casualties. More firefighters were standing by and volunteers went to local hospitals to help. Blood centers were calling for donations.Weibo users reported doors in their apartments were shaken off and many captured photos and video of the inferno. Several high-rise buildings are out of power. People standing outside of their buildings. Some have reported chemical gas leaks.
