If you're waiting for an RC pack from China, don't be surprised if it's delayed or gone missing.

"gone missing"... AKA. "Exploded I a roaring fireball"

To anyone lacking context, an explosion occurred last night at the Tianjin Binhai New Area Port. Tianjin is one of the 10 largest ports in the world and is a hub of logistical activity. From what I ascertain the explosion occurred in a warehouse that housed hazardous material, and rapidly spread to a nearby fuel storage first igniting an explosion equivalent to 3 tons of TNT, with a follow-up explosion equivalent to 21 tons of TNT. Here's a video of the explosion, here's one of the first articles published, and here's Reddit's live feed on the issue. Early estimates are 200 people dead, several thousand injured. Keep in mind the Chinese government has a track record of censoring both information and fatality/injury accounts in disastrous incidents like this.

Why? Has something happened? Or is this just to test the new forum rule about the post and its title matching?

You did the post's title, but forgot to write anything.
