Blast in Chinese aluminium plant causes fear of liquid aluminium spill

On Sunday, April 3, an explosion in an aluminium plant in the Guangdong province city of Qingyuan took the lives of 4 workers.

As per the local media, the explosion may have caused a liquid aluminium spill, posing a serious threat to the workers there.
“The explosion may trigger a liquid aluminum leak and relevant departments are now dealing with the accident,” says Daily Global Times.

However, this is not the first time that something like this has happened in China. In 2007, a molten aluminium leak had taken the life of 14 people and wounded 59 at a plant in east China's Shandong Province.
