A driver in Tianjin, China drives his car, damaged by the massive explosion in that city yesterday. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! has a photo essay on the aftermath of the explosion. It’s pretty incredible.

I’m a VW guy to the core, but I had the same thought.

I wonder if the TPMS light still works.

Dat shockwave doe. That’s why you manufacture rocket fuel in the middle of the desert.

I was lead to believe that this was standard build quality for these vehicles, or what they generally look like after about 10 months of normal driving...

Nope. Halifax Explosion from Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada in WW1....we win at large accidental explosions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halifax_E…
Largest man-made explosion in history before nuclear weapons.
That being said...terrible situation in China (I, by no means literally mean I don’t care because Halifax’s explosin was bigger, I simply mean that it was a larger explosion than the one in Tianjin, or the Texas or PEPCON explosions mentioned!) Would love to know how the explosion started and what the safety protocols were....some of the footage and pictures are apocalyptic and unreal....

I wonder why these ones got off so lightly compared to the rest. It’s not like they’re that far from the ones behind them.
