Trying to find info on that factory fire in Guangdong last month was a real eye-opener

I saw a short clip on a social feed about a big chemical plant fire near Foshan, but when I went to look for news, it was like it never happened. Local reports just said there was a 'small incident' that was 'under control.' I spent maybe two hours digging through different sites and forums, and the only real details came from people posting cell phone videos that kept getting taken down. It makes you wonder how many other stories just vanish like that. Has anyone else hit a wall trying to follow up on a story that got scrubbed clean?

Wait they called it a small incident? I saw one of those videos before it got deleted and the smoke plume was huge, like a black tower over the whole area. That's not a small fire, that's a major disaster. It's crazy how they can just change the story like that and delete the proof. Makes you not trust anything you read.

You say the smoke plume was huge, but cell phone videos can make things look way worse than they are.
