Series Gas Explosion in Taiwan: 24 Dead, 271 injured
Quote:
At least 24 people were killed and 271 injured when several underground gas explosions ripped through Taiwan’s second-largest city, hurling concrete and cars through the air and blasting trenches in the streets, authorities said Friday, as a search for the cause began.
The series of explosions about midnight Thursday and early Friday struck a densely populated district where several petrochemical plans operate pipelines alongside the sewer system in Kaohsiung, a southwestern port with 2.8 million people.
Firefighters called to the neighborhood to investigate a gas leak were among the victims when the blasts went off several hours later, upending at least five red fire trucks amid the rubble of pavement and dirt. 4 firefighters were killed on their duty.
I hope it was an accident and not something planned. And if it was an accident, then I hope they take preventative measures so this doesn't happen again.
Hope everyone injured gets better
