Over a decade ago, an explosion occurred in the raw material storage area of Lanhua Company; the number of people injured was certainly not as high as what was reported by CCTV. According to reports, the number of casualties is set to rise further. For personal safety, it is essential to study the relevant safety materials carefully; the power of this explosion was extremely great. According to a report on CCTV News’ Weibo account, at around 23:30 on August 12, an explosion occurred at a container terminal at the intersection of Fifth Street and Yuejin Road in Tianjin Binhai New Area. The substance responsible for the explosion was flammable and explosive material contained within the containers, and a second explosion followed. Flames billowed at the scene, and nearby residents heard loud explosions along with a strong shaking sensation. The injured have been taken to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment. According to CCTV, the explosion has killed 17 people and left 32 others in critical condition. Two explosions in Tianjin had a force equivalent to 24 tons of explosives _ NetEase News Center http://news.163.com/15/0813/07/B0SNVD1U00014SEH.html
It’s probably **improper storage of chemicals!** It’s that serious!
There can be no room for carelessness or luck when it comes to managing risks – the consequences are too severe!
1. It may be due to high temperatures, container expansion/rupture, friction, or ignition； 2. It may be a substance that releases flammable gases when exposed to moisture; rainwater can generate gases, the container may break, or it may catch fire in the presence of an ignition source. Estimate.
The reports say that the environmental impact assessment for this project should not have been approved~~ yet it has already been built~~
The most terrifying thing is that there are many residential areas around the site of the accident; otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many casualties
There haven’t been many incidents at Lanzhou Petrochemical in recent years; only 1.7 such incidents were covered on television over a period of 10 years
It’s not the container that has it, right? . . . .
