Two weeks ago, an oil pipeline exploded in the northeastern port city of Dalian, triggering a spectacular blaze that burned for an entire weekend and spilled about 1,500 tonnes of oil into the Yellow Sea off Liaoning province.

People more than two kilometres (1.2 miles) away evacuated their buildings, thinking an earthquake had struck, reports said.

Deadly industrial accidents are routine in China, where basic safety provisions are often ignored.

Many hospitals had almost exhausted their blood stocks and local residents were rushing to mobile collection vehicles to donate blood, Xinhua said Wednesday.

More than 300 others were injured in the blast on Wednesday, which occurred on the grounds of an abandoned plastics factory in Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu province, as workers were demolishing the facility.

The powerful blast levelled or heavily damaged buildings within 100 metres (yards) and blew out windows or caused other damage to businesses and residences up to 300 metres away.

The explosion reportedly occurred when a pipeline carrying ethylene gas was damaged while workers using diggers were dismantling buildings and retrieving parts that could be resold, Xinhua news agency reported.

BEIJING (AFP) – Police have arrested four people in connection with a chemical pipeline explosion that rocked a city in eastern China, state media said Thursday, as the death toll rose to 13.
