Yes Arthur, tragic.

I really feel for the people Tianjin especially as I lived there for long periods between 1993 and 1994
I had a nice traditional style place right in riverstide community with quite a few expats.
Within walking distance we had a couple of very old temples. Very enjoyable part of my life with very clear memories.

I can imagine that maybe many of those areas would be impacted in some way or another.
Very sad to dwell on that.
I couldn't recognise any of that new development shown on the news. Not surprising really since I haven't been there since. That's a scary 20 years ago

Hope there'll be no problems with some of the dangerous chemicals stored in the port area.
