Blasts investigation

Tianjin blasts: China accuses 11 officials of negligence over chemical site


The Donghai Road light rail terminal station in Tianjin, China, is seen covered in debris on Monday, August 17.  Explosions at a chemical warehouse left more than a hundred people dead and hundreds injured. Fire officials say hazardous chemicals stored at the warehouse were ignited by fire, but the fire's cause is still being investigated.
Chinese prosecutors are accusing 11 officials in the Chinese port of Tianjin of negligence over the deadly blasts that erupted from a chemical warehouse there this month.
The huge, fiery explosions killed at least 145 people, according to authorities, and caused severe damage over a wide area.
China's top state prosecution body on Thursday identified 11 officials who it said had failed in their oversight of Ruihai International Logistics, the company that used the warehouse to store and transport dangerous chemicals.
