近距离观看天津爆炸中心

A CCTV news crew has managed to enter the core area of the blast site along with firefighters. Let's take a look at what the area is like now. At the parking lot near the blast site, thousands of cars were destroyed by fireballs. Inside the core area, a number of buildings were severely destroyed. Containers are seen scattered around, many mangled by the impact. The eastern corner of the site is where the firefighters' work was concentrated and also where they found the bodies of their fallen colleagues.
