4. Conclusions
- (1)
- The explosion occurred as a result of gas leakage from a corroded pipe installed below an unreachable part of the building. The infringement of construction regulations for pipelines and oversight of relevant services were the main causes of this incident;
- (2)
- The rescue operation was performed rapidly and in a timely manner, thanks to efficient management of logistics. The injured were dispatched to hospitals according to their vital prognostics, while many citizens came forward enthusiastically to help and donate blood;
- (3)
- In the future, it is imperative to increase the budget for the repair and daily check of engineering equipment, such as pipelines, as well as strengthen residents’ safety awareness and improve escape routes in case of emergencies.
