Molten metal kills China workers

‘At least 32 people have died at a steel factory in China, after being showered with molten metal.

The accident happened at a plant in Tieling, in the north-eastern province of Liaoning, according to the state news agency Xinhua.

A container of steel split in two and spilled the metal onto workers who had gathered for a meeting, Xinhua said.

Rescuers were unable to get close to the scene, because of the intense heat radiated by the liquid metal.’
