| Dozens killed in fireworks explosion on Chinese Highway |
At least 26 were reported killed in
China early in the morning on Friday when a truck loaded by fireworks was
exploded and destroyed part of an elevated
highway in central province, causing vehicles plunging about 30 meters to the
ground.
China National Radio had put the
number of dead at 26 but the report appeared to have been removed from websites.
According to details; the truck was carrying fireworks ahead of Chinese New Year celebrations
when a huge blast not only destroyed the
truck but an 80-metre stretch of highway outside the city of Sanmenxia in Henan
province. The official Xinhua News Agency said
at least 25 vehicles were smashed and buried in the collapse.
If the details of the cause of tragedy
are believed to be correct, then the incident hints yet again towards badly
constructed bridges and an abundance of badly regulated fireworks.
In the same kind of tragedy about two
weeks back, a firework explosion destroyed a two-storey home in Hebei Province
killing three people and injuring eleven.
