At 9 o’clock in the morning, the reporter saw at the scene that the street shop in the central community of Liantai Xiangyu was bombed beyond recognition, and the shattered glass rushed to the community dozens of meters across the road, and the vehicles parked near the store were damaged to varying degrees. Many shops around were also affected, and the scene was messy.
Firefighters set up a cordon around the scene of the accident, and handled and investigated the open flames and inflammable and explosive materials in the store.
"At that time, the shop opposite suddenly exploded with a loud noise, and large pieces of glass slag slammed on our sentry box." The security guard of the famous family community told the reporter that the traffic on this road is usually very heavy, and it happened to catch up with the holiday today. When the explosion occurred, there were no pedestrians and vehicles passing by.
Half an hour later, several firefighters carried out a liquefied gas cylinder more than one meter high from the store and continued to cool it with a water gun. The reporter learned at the scene that the accident was suspected to be an explosion in the gas tank of the store. There was no one in the store at the time of the incident, and there were no casualties on the road and in the store.
"It’s so scary. I just went to this store to eat jiaozi a few days ago. When I was in the bathroom on the second floor, I saw that the lampblack from the kitchen downstairs would actually come up from the drain hole of the bedpan. At that time, I said that I would not come again." Ms. Li, who lives nearby, said with a lingering fear after learning that the gas tank in this store exploded.
In view of whether the liquefied gas cylinders in the store are qualified, Yang Jun, a staff member of the Environmental Protection Department of Shajing Sub-district Office in Honggutan New District, Nanchang, told the reporter that they had organized personnel to carry out safety inspection and registration for restaurants in this street for many times, and issued relevant safety notices.
"We have been to this store many times, telling them not to go to some unqualified second-hand dealers to can gas privately, because all aspects of quality and safety are not up to standard, and we have not bought corresponding insurance, but the other party just won’t listen." Yang Jun said.
At present, the cause of the accident is under further investigation.
