Ammonia leak in China kills 15
上海冷库液氨泄漏 15人死亡
Fifteen people are dead following an ammonia leak at this cold storage facility in Shanghai, according to Chinese state media. Twenty-six others were injured in the accident and eight remain in critical condition. The cause of the leak - which happened Saturday morning - remains under investigation. "At the moment, I don't know the detailed situation," said this firefighter. One witness said he saw workers running from the building at around 11 in the morning. Soon afterwards, a distinct smell reportedly began wafting from the facility. China, the world's second-largest economy, has a poor record when it comes to workplace safety. In June alone, 120 people died when a fire engulfed a chicken processing plant in north-eastern Jilin province.
中国国家媒体报道，上海一家冷库发生液氨泄漏事件，造成15人死亡。26人在事故中受伤，仍有8人情况危急。泄漏事故发生在周六早上，原因仍在调查中。这名消防员表示，“目前我们还不清楚详细情况。”一名目击者表示，当天上午11点左右，他看到工作人员从冷库里跑出来。很快，就从冷库里弥漫出刺鼻的气味。中国是世界第二大经济体，工作安全状况不是很乐观。6月份，东北部省份吉林一家禽业加工厂发生大火，造成120人死亡。
