Welding Fire kills 30

I am a little late with this news and it is probably one of the worst casultites I have mentioned here from a welding spark I would assume.

Apparently a container holding 60,000 litres of flammable products had exploded, it still amazes me that welders are working in these very hazardous conditions. The factory produced Cosmetics and detergents and is located in Arak, south west of Tehran

On top of this it seems 23 of the survivors have 70% or more burns.

Details came from the BBC website

Just quick update I have found a little more coverage on this disaster which can be found here, with photos from the scene.
