They were at the time. What I meant was that is was a series of explosions one after the other. I would imagine as the line pulled apart from the previous explosion, it then exploded at the new break ...  and repeated this process over and over for some time. I have never heard of this happening over such a huge length of pipe

QuoteBlast at China Car-Parts Supplier Kills at Least 68



At least 68 people were killed and about 187 injured in a major blast at a factory in eastern China that supplies the country's massive automobile industry and indirectly some of the biggest international brands as a subcontractor in the production of wheels, the company and state media reported.



A preliminary investigation suggests a dust blast caused the explosion early Saturday at the metal-polishing plant just outside Shanghai, in the Jiangsu province city of Kunshan, the reports said. More than 260 people were in the plant at the time and about 44 people were killed in the initial blast, while others died later, the reports said, suggesting the death toll may rise and that victims are being treated in various cities around Kunshan.



Combustible dust is a widely known industrial hazard that has led to deaths at factories around the world, including in China. Safety experts warn that in the absence of good ventilation a buildup of heat, oxygen and a material, often dusty particles such as pulverized metal, can spark massive explosions without warning.

What a world we live in. Seems like not a day goes by without explosions, conflicts and disasters.
