100 days after the Tianjin industrial tragedy, no one is held responsible

The families of the deceased are still in mourning while the Chinese government still does not point to the guilty. China started a judicial investigation to determine if negligence caused the industrial disaster. Days after the tragedy, local press reported possible irregularities, as the company Ruihai International Logistics did not have a license to store dangerous chemicals or that the port where the explosions occurred was very close to residential areas. Many of those killed were young inexperienced firefighters.
