On the evening of May 30th, an explosion occurred in a chemical plant workshop in Wuyi County, Hebei Province. Officials reported that the accident resulted in the death of 5 people and injuries to 2.
On May 31st, the Wuyi County Emergency Management Bureau issued a notice stating that around 6:30 pm on May 30th, an explosion of a boiling washing pot happened in a chemical plant workshop in Wuyi County, resulting in the death of 5 people and injuries to 2 (no life-threatening conditions). The cause of the accident is under investigation.
Due to the Chinese Communist Party’s habit of concealing the truth, the actual situation may be more severe than reported.
According to local internet users, “My home is near Wuyi Bridge, and the explosion was like an earthquake.” “It was so loud last night.” “I went to the rescue last night, and the scene was filled with fire trucks and ambulances.”
However, the notice did not mention the specific name of the company. Currently, apart from the official report, there are no detailed reports on the accident, and there are no videos from the scene circulating online.
The accident has sparked discussions online. Many internet users exclaimed, “What’s going on these days, either this happens or that happens!” “The incident in Shandong has not been resolved, and now 5 more in Hengshui, Hebei have been affected. It’s time for a thorough safety overhaul.” “Continue downsizing, now one person does the work of ten before, all fatigued operations, it would be strange if nothing happens!”
“It’s unbelievable, in May, landslides, chemical plant explosions, traffic accidents, and even septic tank incidents, natural and man-made disasters occur one after another, natural disasters can only be prevented as much as possible, but human-made disasters should be seriously accountable. Let’s pray for smooth sailing ahead for the country and the people.” “Haven’t seen any videos, have you?”
