magnesium + smoking - China iPad´polishing plantˇ explosion ?
According to following URL, the Foxconn Chengdu manufacturing plant
explosion yesterday was "due to a special dust, which is used to clean the screens of the iPads. It is flammable. And someone was smoking." http://micgadget.com/12651/breaking-foxconn-chengdu-manufacture-plant-explosion-video/ The first video in above link (also in following link) shows lots of people running around at the plant, which employs about 100000 people and is Foxconn's 2nd largest. Some webpages refer to magnesium dust catching fire, and others to aluminum dust being common in the air at the factory. http://gizmodo.com/5803963/would-the-foxconn-factory-explosion-further-delay-ipad-shipments http://www.examiner.com/technology-in-national/sacom-report-presaged-chengdu-blast-health-and-safety-issues-alarming -- jiw |
