Authorities pulled more bodies from the site of last week's massive explosions in the Chinese port city of Tianjin, raising the death toll to 114 on Monday as crews scrambled to clear dangerous chemical contamination, NBC News reported.
With storms moving into the area, environmental officials raised concerns that sodium cyanide exposed by the explosions Wednesday could release poisonous hydrogen cyanide into the air.
Seventy other people remained missing Monday morning, many of them firefighters, five days after the huge blasts at a warehouse storing hazardous materials lit up the night sky with a huge fireball, and the shockwave of the explosions shattered windows in buildings more than a mile away.
