An explosion from a factory in Kunshan killed at least 69 people and more than 120 people got hurt. China suffered its worst industrial accident in a year on Saturday.

The accident happened in Kunshan city, Jiangsu Province in China. And the blast was from Zhongrong Metal Products Company, who makes car wheels for the U.S. The Kunshan government told us 264 workers were there when the explosion happened and 44 died immediately. "We heard a really loud blast at about 7 a.m. this morning so we rushed out of our rooms," said Zhou Xu, a 26-year-old worker at that company. Another worker said, “First the ambulance came and then many wives rushed to the factory to see if their husbands were okay.”

Now, Shanghai government is sending doctors to Kunshan to save the injured. And the doctor said the number of the dead may increase.

Chinese government is looking into the cause of the disaster. And President Xi attaches great importance to it. He said, “Those found responsible must be punished”.
