| Fifteen people were killed and 20 injured,three of them seriously, in a blaze (fire)set off by fireworks inside a bar called Latin Bar in southeast China. The accident happened on the evening of January 31 in the city of Changle, Fujian Province, when a group celebrating a birthday set off fireworks at their table inside the bar. The firecrackers made the electric line burning, and the lines burnt the things in the bar. These things decorated the bar and gave off some terrible gas that made people die when they breathed much. After they were sent to the hospital, two men died later. Among them the youngest was only 17 years old. It happened just after the Spring Festival. A lot of parents were waiting in the hospital. Some of them were so sad that they cried for a long time. A woman in a red coat, one of her shoes was lost on the ground cried so hard that she couldn't say anything. She was the mother of the youngest dead child. A young man told the reporter that he was one of the workers who once worked in the bar and just left the bar before Spring Festival. He felt very frightened. His five other workmates were also dead. He told people that there were many people in the bar and the bar used some bad materials to decorate. So once there is a fire, these bad things will give off poisonous (harmful) gas which can make people die in a short time. "Why did this kind of thing happen again and again in our country?" people asked the leaders of the police. We hope this accident will not happen any more. |
