So no one exactly knows what caused the cloud to form, but the Chinese Government claims "Straw Burning was the cause", denying any other accusations.

What do you all think was the cause? I don't think Straw Burning can cause a mushroom cloud this size. :P

If people bothered clicking the link the TC provided and and saw the two videos posted by the Huffington Post then maybe they'd see how it looks like a mushroom cloud. Personally have no idea what it is from or why it occurred, but it is a bit ridiculous that Chinese police arrested two individuals who posted on the internet that it was a an explosion at either a steel refinery or chlorine plant.

What's sad is those two poor souls will probably be executed for saying that.

It's not misleading. There are moments in the video where it resembles a mushroom cloud. And various publications with info provided by eyewitnesses who are describing it as a mushroom cloud. The poster is just the messenger, don't shoot him because you are incapable of seeing what others can.

If the Chinese read what you just wrote, you'd be in a prison camp right now with the other two guys. :P

I wonder how much straw they were burning to cause that. If it was a chlorine plant blowing up that's pretty unfortunate.

I'm wondering why there seems to be lighting in that video? Does a nuke's mushroom cloud cause lightning like effects?

That isn't what assumed it would look like. I thought it would be a nuke cloud which is distinctly shaped like a mushroom. The pics in the OP look more like a smoke signal.

Clearly it was simply one of these clouds passing through a large thunderstorm cell (all kinds of lighting strikes in the cell in video) at sunset.
