Ten days after the massive industrial explosions that killed more than 100 workers, it is becoming clear that this was not an unfortunate accident but the result of criminal negligence. Scores of untrained and casualised firefighters were sent in to deal with the original fires leading to the deaths of over 50 of them. The warehouse at the centre of the explosion had also recently passed a safety review. In the aftermath of this disaster, more evidence of chemical contamination of the area and surrounds is coming out, with foaming rain and mass fish deaths being reported. Nearby residents whose houses were badly damaged by the explosions are now demanding compensation from the government.
