Dozens dead
as Taiwan
A downtown district of the southern Taiwanese city of Kaohsiung
The blasts,
which were triggered by underground gas leaks, tore trenches through main
roads, overturned cars and trucks, and sent flames leaping into the air in the
city's Cianjhen district.
Witnesses
said they saw vehicles flung into the air by the force of the explosions; one
car was found on the roof of a three-story building.
Zong Han-Li was driving when the explosion happened directly in
front of him, and his dashboard camera caught the moment the gas ignited.
The explosion left a
trench 2 meters deep. Some vehicles were blasted into the air, and some people
fell into the trench. It was a devastating scene.

I am very sorry to hear this bad news.No one would like to undergo the misery, but it had happened. Therefore, what we can do is prey for them and give them help.
回覆刪除It was the most serious explosion in Taiwan, and it claimed many people's lives. It is very sad that they suffered from the tragedy. I think it must be pretty hard for them to recover from the sorrow.
