47 dead after ruptured oil pipeline explodes
11-23-2013 20:25 BJT
At least 47 people are now known to have died, and 136 injured, after a
leaking oil pipe caught fire and exploded.
Search and rescue operations are still going on at the explosion scene.
Qingdao environmental protection authority said the oil spill into the
sea and underground water has been basically brought under control.
About 3,000 square meters of sea area have been contaminated.
Barriers have been erected around the contaminated areas along the coast
line. Meanwhile, the oil refinery Sinopec denied earlier reports that
the exploded pipeline was put into operation just this August.
It confirmed that it was in fact one that had been in use for 27 years,
linking Huangdao with the city of Dongying.
