A week has passed and still the reports are sketchy as to the cause of the disaster. My brief analysis of what little evidence is available shows that none of the substances mentioned in reports could have been the cause of the massive explosion and crater it left.
It seems that what really happened is being covered up with mentions of substances that could not have caused such destruction.

(NaturalNews) After publishing an article last week which explained that dissidents in China believe Tianjin was hit by a “Rod of God” secret space weapon from the Pentagon, I’ve looked more closely at the physics and telemetry control required to place such a weapon on target.
Some observers have come to the conclusion that the complexity of such a weapon system is too high for it to be a reality. They’ve cited several reasons for their skepticism, including the difficulty of overcoming orbital velocity, atmospheric re-entry problems, flight telemetry and so on. Some have also questioned whether the kinetic energy of such an object would be large enough to make any sort of meaningful impact on a ground-based target.
However, after analyzing the capabilities already found in today’s precision-guided munitions — such as Raytheon’s Excalibur guided artillery projectile, I’ve come to the conclusion that today’s weapons technology is more than sufficient to build and deploy a functioning “Rod of God” orbital kinetic weapon platform.

Back to the Rod of God, the greater question here, however, is whether the rod can survive the atmospheric re-entry speed that’s necessary to result in it striking the ground at 4km/s.
In other words, if V1 is the velocity of entry into the atmosphere, then the equation we are pondering is:
4km/s = V1 – B1?V1 = velocity upon entering the atmosphere?B1 = velocity reduction caused by braking in the atmosphere.
The real question here is: Can a “Rod from God” weapon survive V1? Or will it “burn up” from friction with the atmosphere? We can’t know the answer to this, and the Pentagon isn’t telling. But we can guess that the space weapons industry is at least two decades ahead of what they’re telling the public.
Delivering 4 tons of TNT equivalent kinetic energy onto the target
Here’s the math of the kinetic energy delivered to the target:
At 4km/s upon impact, a mass of, say, 2000kg (a two-ton rod) would deliver:
Kinetic Energy (Joules) = 0.5 x 2000 x (4000 ^ 2)
Answer = 16,000,000,000 Joules or 16 billion Joules; or stated as 16 x 10^9.
The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima unleashed approximately 64 TJ (terajoules), or approximately 4,000 times the kinetic energy of our Rod of God weapon.
Because one ton of TNT is equivalent to 4.184 × 10^9 joule (J), if our exotic rod weapon unleashes 16 x 10^9, then it delivers the energy of four tons of TNT onto the target.
Is four tons of TNT useful as a tactical weapon? If you can deliver it on target from space, it certainly is!
The first Tianjin explosion was reported as 3 tons of TNT equivalent.
Interestingly, this is right in line with the reports from Tianjin, China, where two explosions took place. It was widely reported in the media that the first explosion represented about 3 tons of TNT, setting off a secondary explosion that reached about 21 tons of TNT.
From CNBC.com:
In other words, a “Rod of God” weapon could have conceivably achieved a 3-ton TNT equivalent, and if delivered directly on target, it could have easily set off the secondary chemical explosion.
How could the Rod of God reach targets that aren’t directly underneath it?
Those who are assuming the Rod of God orbital weapons platform must drop the rods STRAIGHT down are making a tremendous error. No such limitation exists in space. There’s no reason why the launch platform can’t rotate before launching the rod on a desired trajectory, and there’s no reason why a rod can’t have a small, detachable thruster motor that works in space (yet detaches before atmospheric re-entry).
The initial trajectory angle of the Rod of God upon launch could allow it to reach almost any land-based target on the planet below. A relatively small thrust charge ignited after launch could drive the trajectory in any direction in space. This is especially the case if the launch platform is orbiting far from the planet, allowing more time for launch vectors to alter the final arrival destination below.
Once the rod reaches atmosphere, small changes in control surfaces could easily glide the rod to within 2 meters of any intended target on impact, using the exact same technology that already exists in precision munitions on Earth (tiny adjustable surfaces near the tail).
In all, these three innovations would allow a space-based Rod of God weapon to hit ANY target on planet Earth:
1) The ability to rotate the platform to launch the rods at varying angles relative to the planet.
2) The ability to add thrust to the rod itself through a small, one-time rocket motor.
3) The ability to guide the rod using existing precision munitions technology that alters control surfaces in the atmosphere to deliver munitions on target.

Conclusion: The Rod of God concept seems feasible, but we can’t know the Pentagon’s secrets to confirm it.
Here, I’ve shown that the kinetic energy delivered by a “Rod of God” weapon could reasonably match the first explosion observed in TianJin. I’ve also explained why the orbital velocity and atmospheric re-entry objections are not show-stoppers.
The biggest question, in my opinion, is whether a rod can survive the extremely high forces of friction with the atmosphere as it plummets toward its target at very high velocities (Mach 12, for example). This is primarily a materials question, and there’s no way we can know for sure what sort of exotic materials the Pentagon has developed.
One thing we can know with 100% certainty, however, is that the Pentagon doesn’t publicly disclose its space weapons secrets. If it does possess a Rod of God space weapon, it sure isn’t going to announce it to anyone. Especially given how amazingly useful such a weapon would be for the stealth striking of enemy targets anywhere on the planet.
Remember: if this weapon exists, it puts a weapon on target while producing no apparent launch signature. This is, in every way, a stealth weapon that no one can stop once it’s launched. You wouldn’t even be able to see it approaching, either.
Dropping through the atmosphere at Mach 12, it would strike the target like a bolt from the heavens, causing enormous destruction and leaving quite a large crater in the ground, just like we saw at Tianjin.

An article published in the June 2015 issue of Time Magazine goes into great detail describing an array of science-fiction-like technologies which would likely make their debut. U.S. and Chinese warships battle at sea, firing everything from cannons to cruise missiles to lasers.
In the Pacific, the U.S. and a newly powerful and assertive China are engaged in a massive arms race. China built more warships and warplanes than any other nation during the last several years, while the Pentagon just announced a strategy to “offset” it with a new generation of high-tech weapons.
Indeed, it’s likely China’s alleged recent hack of federal records at the Office of Personnel Management was not about cyber crime, but a classic case of what is known as “preparing the battlefield,” gaining access to government databases and personal records just in case, has already begun. China’s military build up is already on pace to match the U.S. by 2020, if it hasn't already.
The lifeblood of military communications and control now runs through space, meaning we’d see humankind’s first battles for the heavens. Similarly, we’d learn “cyber war” is far more than stealing Social Security Numbers or e-mail from gossipy Hollywood executives, but the takedown of the modern military nervous system and Stuxnet-style digital weapons…
