Death toll in Chinese-port blasts rises to 104

By Around the Web

(Associated Press) State media say the death toll from massive blasts in the Chinese port of Tianjin has risen to 104.

The new toll Saturday came rescuers scour the warehouse district devastated by a fire and series of explosions late Wednesday at a warehouse for hazardous chemicals.

Rescuers also found an additional survivor Saturday as authorities evacuated much of the area to clean up dangerous chemical contamination. Several additional small explosions rocked the disaster zone as the clean-up continued.
