I work for a Logistics company in the US and we have many shipments there right now. The office is upside down right now.
Update: It's not relevant to my company but many ocean carriers actually lost many crew members that were on the ships. They're taking a wayyy worst hit then we do. Condolences to the crew member's families.
Update 2: People usually leaves at 4:30ish, it's 5:20 right now and everyone are still here. People that called off for today are now all here. Doesn't looking like we're leaving soon since it's morning in China and people are waking up.
Update 3: Angry customers (because they didn't buy insurance) are calling in to see whether if there shipments are okay. We have absolutely no way of finding out. Our average wait time increased from 20 seconds to over 40 minutes now.
Update 4: Leaving work now. Tomorrow will probably be my last day. Hello Trucie.
Updated 5: HR sent an email asking everyone to come in tomorrow at their earliest convenience. I'm gonna go in at 5 am tomorrow (we're 9-5) to help deal with the aftermath. There will be more information available tomorrow to help dealing with the customers.
Update 6: Words are that CEO is working on a deal with a bigger logistics company to buy us out. Not sure what the terms are and I think the company that want to step in and help us I may be able to keep my job after all you guys...
Update 7: We're receiving death threats via emails/phone calls and text messages. Some people's whole life saving is in those containers. This is a mess.

The International department is having an emergency meeting as we speak. We called every single agents we have around that area to see what's still in the port. The damage is now estimated to be about 7.2 million dollars in goods as of right now. I'm working on my resume...
Edit: Over 15 millions in damage now and it's not slowing down...
Edit 2: Over 20 millions now. This is very overwhelming. We've never experienced something like this before.

lol hundred thousands? u watch too much movies la bro. i don't think i could be more 1000, or even 100.

Wonder will this incident effect current economy?

Dont think there would be many deaths in that area, its not like a commercial area and its night time to boot.

Faaaark more company will kena lingkup

Yea im amazed that there are only 17 deaths? 

inb4 plot twist.

if you happen to be in 500m range of the explosion and hide in a gutter, how much would it improve your survival chance?

Hide in fridge better, can survive nuclear explosion

So, overall, being in a lead-lined fridge you're somewhere around 51 points (~percent) safer than standing randomly in your home or office. However, you could still get 46 of those points just being in some other well-protected interior room away from any sort of glass or other likely flying debris (removing the fridge escape penalty of course).

As it happens, duck an cover made a lot more sense than we give it credit for today; it's almost as effective as Indiana Jones' brilliant lead-lined fridge idea.

FYI - This is not an exhaustive list of nuclear effects and the actual nuclear attack you're subjected to could change the weighting substantially. Your mileage may vary.

So the first batch firefighters didnt know there were dangerous material store on those warehouse when they go in ?

RIP for all the fallen firefighters.
