There's a LOT of speculations and rumors due to the Chinese government cracking down on information so I'm not even going to bother speculating.
Huge disaster and I think this is going to be one for the history books. Terrible that this happened and I hope we can learn from this for the sake of all the people killed, injured, or who will suffer health consequences due to the chemicals involved.

Whether it is engineering projects, construction or even retail business, everything is massive and you just add a few more zeros to your initial observations. Construction is very often on a 24/7 basis and taller buildings may be occupied on lower levels before being topped off. I have given a few seminars and found the engineers are ravenous and well equipped to learn.
It even out-strips India in the desire and talents for design and construction, especially considering what else that can be required.
With the huge facilities and concentrations of industries and population, the disasters can have huge numbers associated with them.

I doubt the people in West, Texas will ever take anything like that for granted after what they experienced a couple of years ago:
