A number of online videos show that a huge white mushroom cloud rises in one place, and there is a constant flicker of fire below it, accompanied by a crackling sound. There are firefighters in the vicinity, and there is white liquid flowing on the road.
2 1 At 7 o'clock in the evening, Ms. Chen, a villager in Tanglidian Village, told reporters that her home was only more than 200 meters away from the explosion site, and the explosion suddenly sounded at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. "The glass in the house is shaking and tinkling, just like an earthquake." Ms. Chen said that when she saw it, the white smoke had jumped to tens of meters high, and small explosions and flames appeared from time to time in the smoke.
Ms. Wang said that several people were burned by the explosion at that time, but the injuries were not serious. They have been taken to the hospital, and village cadres have also informed them to stay away from the scene of the explosion. Although the fire came to the rescue soon, as of 7 pm, there was still smoke at the scene.
"At that time, I saw a flash of lightning a few kilometers away, and then I heard a huge thunder, and then one explosion after another, and the ground was shaking." Mr. Wang, a local resident, said that if it weren't for the tremor and smoke, he almost thought the explosion behind him was thunder. Mr. Wang and many local residents speculated that lightning and rain caused transformers to explode, which in turn led to the explosion of natural gas pipelines.
