So, there was this crazy fire at a restaurant in northeastern China during lunchtime, and get this, 22 people actually died while three got injured. Like, what even happened there? The whole thing went down at 12.25pm in Liaoyang, which is in Liaoning province. The person running the joint got arrested, and they’re still trying to figure out what started the fire.
Apparently, more than 20 fire trucks and 85 firefighters showed up to the scene. Can you imagine the chaos? Chinese President Xi Jinping even had to step in and call it a “deeply sobering lesson.” He’s pushing for a quick response to help the injured, find out what caused the fire, and punish those responsible.
Xi also wants everyone to be extra careful with safety measures, especially with the May Day holiday coming up. Like, let’s not have any more disasters, okay? Gotta keep people safe and all that jazz.
I saw some videos online showing a bunch of cars parked outside the burning restaurant. It must’ve been a real mess. Let’s hope they can prevent stuff like this from happening again. Let’s keep our fingers crossed, folks. Not really sure why this matters, but it’s something to think about, I guess.
