State Council probe suggests 123 people punished for Tianjin blasts
A State Council probe team has suggested 123 people, including 5 officials at ministerial level, be punished for the devastating Tianjin warehouse explosions in August that killed at least 165 people, according to a report issued by the team Friday.
Verified direct economic loss caused by the Tianjin warehouse explosions in August has been assessed at 6.87 billion yuan (US$1.1 billion).
The explosions killed 165 people, with another eight still missing.
Authorities are continuing with pollution control and monitoring efforts nearly six months after the blasts.
The blasts were caused by ignition of hazardous materials, improperly or illegally stored at the site.
The fire first started in a container through auto-ignition of nitro-cotton, due to vaporization of the wetting agent in hot weather. The fire spread, igniting other chemicals, including ammonium nitrate, according to the report.
