Foxconn Chengdu Manufacture Plant Explosion

What genius editor decided to put multiple auto-playing videos into one article?

I know that this is probably a stupid view to have, given so many life-destroying things happen all over the world, and indeed all-over China, but I can't help but feel for the people of Chengdu specifically. I was working out there 18 months ago and it was clear that they were still a long way from recovering the earthquake that devestated the area 18 months before that. There were still buildings all over the place that were just rubble on the ground, others with huge cracks running right through them, not to mention the human cost that the earthquake took.

I guess, for me, it's just because most of my travels are to extremely developed parts of the world, and the fact that the worst I've seen is in Chengdu, it rings home particularly when more bad things happen to that area.

I wonder if this was intentional?

Good luck with them trying to cover this up.
