Enormous explosions in a major Chinese port city killed at least 44 people and injured more than 500, state media reported Thursday, leaving a devastated industrial landscape of incinerated cars, toppled shipping containers and burnt-out buildings.
An AFP reporter in Tianjin saw shattered glass up to three kilometres (two miles) from the blast site, after a shipment of explosives detonated in a warehouse, unleashing a fireball that lit up the night sky and rained debris on the city.
