"Sky Full Of Fire": Shanghai Chemical Plant Explosion Leaves One Dead

Shanghai authorities on Saturday announced an investigation into a massive chemical plant blaze that left one person dead and another injured in the first major industrial accident since the city lifted lockdown in early June.

The fire at a Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Co. plant in the outlying Jinshan district broke out at around dawn on Saturday and was brought under control within hours.
