Reports this morning are that 85 Firefighters in China are still missing after those explosions that hit Tianjin, near Beijing.
This is IN ADDITION to the 21 bodies of Firefighters killed in the Line of Duty that have been recovered.
The latest death toll has risen to 112 today (Sunday) while 95 others including 85 Firefighters were still missing. There were 56 explosion hit patients in critical conditions besides nearly 700 others with less injuries.
PROTESTS:
Tianjin saw several protests from people affected by the blasts. Relatives of dead and missing people are protesting against what they consider the government's refusal to disclose what chemicals were stored and how the accident took place.
The site was also witness to demonstrators demanding that the government should buy new homes for them because the explosions had destroyed their apartments. Questions are being asked why residential buildings were allowed to be built just 1000-2000 meters from the chemical warehouse where the explosions occurred.
Videos emerging from the affected site showed vehicles traveling over a bridge and nearby roads at the time of the accident were smashed and charred. This has raised questions about the fate of the people in the vehicles with many residents speculating that the number of death might be a lot more.
