Shock waves were felt several kilometers away.The China Earthquake Networks Center said the magnitude of the first explosion was the equivalent of detonating three tons of TNT, while the second was the equivalent of 21 tons of the explosive.

　　You can see the devastation everywhere: in the hollowed-out shells of barely-standing buildings, in the anguished faces of relatives waiting for news of loved ones, in the parade of scorched cars.

　　But what was it that set off the terrifying blasts that ripped through warehouses containing hazardous chemical materials, sending fireballs shooting across the sky and shaking tall buildings more than 2 miles away?

　　Hours later, amid the destruction in this northern Chinese port city of more than 13 million, the exact cause of Wednesday night's blast remained unclear.

　　你可以看到满目疮痍：那些几乎被掏空坍塌的建筑物，那些等待他们亲人的消息的人们脸上的痛苦表情，那些排成阵列的烧焦的汽车。

　　但究竟是什么引起这次可怕的爆炸，炸毁存有危险化学品的仓库，让火球划过天际，震动远在两英里外的高层建筑物?

　　多个小时后，在这座人口超过130万的中国北方港口城市中，造成爆炸的确切原因仍不清楚。
