When work becomes a lethal hell - Globaltimes.cn

When work becomes a lethal hell - Globaltimes.cn: On the first day of 2013, 38-year-old steel worker Li Bin, died leaving a wife and a 15-year-old child behind. Fifteen days before his death Li Bin had been working as usual at Baosteel's manufacturing plant in Shanghai's Baoshan district. He and his fellow workers had been working exactly as they had done for years when suddenly, in the morning on December 17, a nightmare exploded. As they moved a refinery wagon containing molten iron along tracks, the contraption suddenly tipped, splashing 270 tons of molten metal around the area. Two workers died at the scene, unable to escape. More than 10 others suffered injuries in the accident but Li Bin was the most seriously injured.
