"Massive explosions have hit China's northern city of Tianjin, leaving at least 17 people dead and hundreds more injured."
 
 
the death toll may have risen since this, but you would expect a lot more dead with explosions so large

you're damn right it's serious!
 
so serious that the chinese gov gave no shits about the safety of it's workers and had very lax regulation regarding hazardous material!
 
why, imposing such restrictions would have affected the bottom line!

So just how 'big' is that explosion? Is that equivalent to something like a stealth bomber run or a small tactical nuke?

The thing about Chinese chemical factory explosions is, after you have one, you're just going to want another one 19 days later.
