Below are links to two citizen-shot videos of the Tianjin explosions. The first one I saw last night, the second, just a little while ago.

Friends and enemies, I truly, truly apologize if this offends anyone, or everyone: I find the reaction of the people filming the explosion humorous.












The first one, the exaggerated "Whooaw," which sounds Chinese. In the second, the "Oh my God! Oh shit! Oh my God" in English before switching to Chinese. I almost published the first one last night, decided better of it, but now saw the second one and...decided worse of it. There is nothing funny about the loss of life and the injuries in this incident. The reaction of these two ordinary Chinese to the second, massive, explosion however, I find humorous.
