Just weeks after a massive blast in Tianjin port killed 158 in China, another explosion at a chemical plant killed at least one person, local media reported. The blast occurred Monday night in Dongying city, in the eastern province of Shandong.
The explosion occurred at the Diao Kou Xiang Bin Yuan Chemical Co., AFP reported citing a news website run by the local government. The blaze was extinguished about five hours later and "people in charge of the company" were detained by police, the website said.

The blast was so massive it could be seen and heard from a great distance. According to People's Daily, the blast happened at around 11:30pm local time (3:30pm GMT).


No immediate reports of casualties or damages were available.


The plant in Shandong province which caught fire on August 22 produced hundreds of thousands of tons of adiponitrile – a toxic colorless liquid which releases poisonous gases when it reacts with fire, local media reported.



China has been hit by a wave of massive blasts at its chemical facilities this month. Earlier in August, nearly 160 people were killed and around 700 injured in explosions at a warehouse storing hazardous chemicals in Tianjin port. Fifiteen people still remain missing following the tragedy, authorities said on Monday. Cleanup crews are still struggling with cyanide contamination in the area.

At this rate if more explosions happen it feels like they are experimenting or trying to create a Second Impact haha

Wasn't there a second explosion just a few days after the Tainjin explosion? That would make this the third one in a month iirc.

I believe the market is self correcting itself. I was reading that their market was being artificially boosted even when the economy was obviously slowing down. So when the money being injected into their stocks stopped the whole thing crumbled. It's expensive to corrupt things.

[Acevalefor]

Yeah. Market self-correcting after artificial inflation of stock values. The world's stock markets all saw some of this and there is more to come. China's corrections are much steeper because of their propped up market on top of ties to international markets which took a hit in the correction.

Many of the industrial accidents that you hear about are because of inadequate safety standards and inspectors looking the other way in exchange for a bribe.

New industrial accident in South China. Huge wave of toxic waste has buried 33 buildings and at least 91 people missing.

China is really, really having a bad time of it ecologically speaking. Beijing keeps getting choked out under it's own waste, now this.
