An explosion occurred in a express delivery center in Changsha, causing two deaths and two serious injuries. It is said that the explosion happened around 5 am. When many people were still sleeping, they heard a strong explosion, which caused a fire. Related videos show that the explosion accident was very serious, which not only blew a big hole in the roof, but also caused a raging fire. According to preliminary investigation, the cause of the accident is related to the express parcels sorted by this express center.
The surrounding residents called the police in time, and firefighters rushed to the scene at the first time. More than a dozen fire engines and hundreds of firefighters were dispatched. With their joint efforts, it took more than two hours to put out the fire. In this unexpected explosion, two people died and two people were seriously injured. The injured have been sent to the hospital in time for treatment.
After the explosion accident, the local police also quickly intervened in the investigation. The fire department and the police will cooperate to investigate the scene of the accident and determine the specific cause of the accident according to relevant clues. However, judging from the relevant reports and the nature of the express delivery center, most of the reasons for the strong explosions and fires are because of the packages they transported, and it is possible that someone sent contraband by express delivery.
The law clearly stipulates that there are strict requirements for the production, storage and transportation of dangerous chemicals and inflammable and explosive articles, and it is forbidden to transport these dangerous goods by express logistics. However, driven by interests, many logistics companies and express delivery companies illegally transport these items, which leads to these parcels with great security risks entering the express sorting center and express logistics special line. The appearance of these packages will bring great security risks to the whole logistics industry. Once an explosion occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable. The sorting personnel in the express center violently operate when sorting express delivery, and then encounter dangerous goods, which is likely to cause explosions and incendiary bombs. Whether this kind of accident is caused by this reason depends on the official notification.
