Hi Kay, good info.  Seems like China is doing their cover-up routine once again.  I believe Sodium Cyanide is also used in chemical warfare, and of course the explosion included 700 tons exploding.  Wouldn't doubt it if the Chinese didn't start dropping like flies for quite awhile, especially once it hits their drinking water.  Let's also hope the wind doesn't carry it too far.

According to this translation, 1,400 dead, 700 missing, and many bodies uncounted.  Seems to me the count could be in the thousands.  This translation also indicates 49 from the U.S. may have been killed. 

Translation:

"Overseas UBM club on the 15th quoted senior sources said the armed police, armed police fire, and the first line from the field hospital to give figures, as of 15 noon, confirmed that due to the big bang has reached more than 1,400 people dead, more than 700 people missing.

The source refers to, this figure does not include digital field Chemical Corps with dead bodies, as well as off-site hospital died received death toll.

Firefighters became cannon fodder

China "Beijing Times" quoted an authoritative source, Tianjin Port supernumerary firefighters have lost at least 49 in the United states. Union currently able to confirm the number of loss: the First Battalion 3, fourth brigade of 24 people, the fifth brigade of 24 people

Tianjin Explosion: at least 1400 killed, over 700 missing

(Bowen Exclusive) According to information from the top levels of the People’s Armed Police, firefighters on the scene and frontline hospitals confirm that as of Saturday August 15, 2015 more than 1,400 are dead and 700 are missing. The source pointed out that this statistic doesn’t include the corpses collected by the anti-chemical teams, and the total death figure is far from that reported by local hospitals. The anti-chemical teams’ disposal of bodies evades the oversight of both firefighters and the local police.

Due to the large number of people missing, officials are only reporting casualty figures from firefighters and hospitals (total deaths 50). This has sparked outrage on the part of many families with members missing. Yesterday due to the extreme dissatisfaction of family members, the Tianjin municipal government’s fourth press conference was suspended.

  I feel sorry for the victims.  I wonder if we need to worry about merchandise

In inorganic cyanides, such as sodium cyanide, NaCN, this group is present as the negatively charged polyatomic cyanide ion (CN⁻); these compounds, which are regarded as salts of hydrocyanic acid, are highly toxic. The cyanide ion is isoelectronic with carbon monoxide and with molecular nitrogen.^[2][3] Most cyanides are highly toxic.^[4]

^{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide}

Cyanide is very poisonous. Cyanide can exist as a gas, liquid or white crystal powder. Cyanide is used in the electroplating industry, in metal cleaning operations, and as an industrial bug killer. Breathing the gas, eating the liquid or solid forms can make people suddenly lose consciousness or cause death.

There are no common uses of cyanide in the home. Most cyanide in the environment results from industrial processes and from improper waste disposal.
