Taiwan Mall
Horrifying Video Of Deadly Explosion
Published
At least four people are dead following a suspected Thursday morning gas explosion at Taiwan’s Shin Kong Mitsukoshi department store.
Video of the blast shows glass and debris violently ejecting from the building … on what otherwise looked like a routine morning in Taichung City. The explosion left a mess of litter all over the ground, and a gaping hole in the structure.
AP reports the explosion occurred at approximately 11:30 AM local time in the 12th-floor food court, though multiple floors were destroyed.
At least 26 others were reportedly injured, while 235 were evacuated from the building.
Taichung Vice Mayor Cheng Chao-hsin reportedly told the press renovations had been underway at the mall prior to the explosion … and an investigation is in progress.
He said … “If it’s found there were illegal actions or parts that violated renovation regulations, it will be dealt with appropriately.”
