On 21 March 2019, a major explosion occurred at a chemical plant in Chenjiagang Chemical Industry Park, Chenjiagang, Xiangshui County, Yancheng, Jiangsu, China. 78 people were killed and 617 injured.^[1]

Description

Background

The facility—located in Yancheng's industrial park—was operated by Tianjiayi Chemical ({{lang|zh-hans|江苏天嘉宜化工有限公司}}), and was used to produce fertilizer^[2] or pesticides.^[3] Some sources reported that the plant produced organic chemicals, including some highly flammable compounds.^[3] Tianjiayi Chemical had previously been penalized six times for infractions of pollution and waste management laws,^[7] and China Daily reported fines over safety issues.^[3]

On November 27, 2007, an explosion occurred in one of the chemical factories in Chenjiagang Chemical Zone ({{lang|zh-hans|陈家港生态化工园区}}), with 7 killed and around 50 injured.^[4]^[5]^[11] On November 23, 2010, more than thirty were poisoned by a toxic gas release.^[11]^[6] In the early morning of February 10, 2011, rumors of toxic chemical release and potential imminent explosions in the Chenjiagang Chemical Industry Park led over ten thousand residents to evacuate in panic from the towns of Chenjiagang and Shuanggang ({{linktext|lang=zh-hans|双港|镇}}) during which four people died and many were injured.^[7] On the afternoon of May 18 and again on July 26 in 2011, there were explosions at local factories.^[8]

Explosion

The March 2019 explosion occurred at a local time of 14:48^[9]^[10] (06:48 GMT). 78 people were killed,^[1] and at least 94 were severely injured,^[11] 32 of whom were critically injured.^[3] Around 640 people required hospital treatment and were taken to 16 hospitals.^[12]^[13]^[3] The injured included children at a local kindergarten.^[3] CENC detected an M_L2.2 artificial earthquake whose epicenter is at {{Coord|34.331|119.724|display=inline}}.^[10]^[14]

The force of the blast started numerous fires in Yancheng, knocked down several buildings, and reportedly destroyed windows several kilometers away.^[2] The fire was reported to have been controlled by 03:00 local time.^[13] Considerable damage was caused to nearby factories and offices;^[29] the roof of Henglida Chemical Factory, 3 km from the explosion, fell in.^[13] At least one of the people killed was in another building destroyed by the blast.^[11] Windows are reported to have been blown out up to 6 km away from the explosion, and houses and other buildings were damaged in the nearby village-level administrative divisions including Hai'an Town (Haianju) ({{linktext|lang=zh|海安|社区}}) and Shadang ({{linktext|lang=zh|沙荡|社区}}).^[29]

Aftermath

The search for survivors was ongoing on 23 March;^[15] one survivor was rescued from the site on the morning of 23 March,^[11] but 25 of the 28 people earlier reported missing were found dead.^[1] According to the Jiangsu environmental protection bureau, the monitored levels of benzene, toluene, and xylene in the area were not abnormal, and levels of acetone and chloroform outside the explosion area were within normal limits.^[3]

The precise cause of the explosion is not yet known.^[11]^[13] There were no reports of anything abnormal at the plant before the explosion.^[13] A worker at the plant has reported the cause was a fire in a natural gas tanker that spread to benzol storage tank,^[15] but this has not been confirmed.

According to Radio Free Asia, during the disaster, the local government used anti-drone technology to stop drones being used by journalists. The local government prevented outside media from entering the disaster area and hospitals to conduct interviews. Interviews were only granted to some in the Chinese media.^[16]
