Witnesses said in the early morning of the 1st that after the explosion, dust rose several meters high on Sanduo and Kaixuan Roads in the local area, the street lights were also cut off, and the broken asphalt roads were piled up layer upon layer, like a battlefield. The injured were sent to various hospitals one after another, where they were treated with all their strength. Witnesses living near the intersections of Sanduo and Kaixuan said that the sound of an explosion in the early morning cut through the quiet night. They thought it was an earthquake and came out to explore until they realized something had happened. "It's too scary," the public said bluntly. It was like a volcanic eruption. The road was covered with explosive dust. The dust several meters high couldn't see the road. When the vision was clear, they realized that the entire road had blossomed. The originally flat asphalt road was blown into patches of asphalt sheets and piled up. The road surface was destroyed, the road trees fell, cars were blown up several meters away, and motorcycles were scattered on the ground. The messy Sanduo Road and Kaixuan Road were beyond recognition, like purgatory on earth. Ma Ying-jeou immediately grasped the situation and contacted Taiwan's "Premier" Jiang Yihua by phone, instructing relevant units to do their best to assist in the response and rescue the injured. The Taiwan authorities 'disaster response center was established in the early morning, and Jiang Yihua took charge of the disaster relief. The Kaohsiung City Government has established a disaster response center and opened it at the emergency level. Mayor Chen Ju is in charge of the disaster relief. The city government said that after the gas explosion, a disaster response center was established and opened at the first level. An emergency medical center was set up at Ersheng Hospital and a forward command center were set up at Wuquan Primary School. The controlled road sections were expanded to Ersheng Road, Guanghua Road, Yingming Road, and Kaixuan Road. The city government said that it has asked Taiwan's "China Petroleum" and Xingao to cut off gas supply, and currently prioritizes disaster relief, resettlement, and disaster control. It has evacuated people in the control area to Yingming Middle School, Guanghua Middle School, Ruixiang High School, Minmin Primary School, Zhongzheng High School, Guanghua Primary School, and Shijia Middle School. The Social Affairs Bureau also urgently dispatched social workers and supplies to assist. The disaster site was actively rescued by the Kaohsiung Fire Department. The Fire Department immediately dispatched 10 firefighters and 4 fire trucks from the Kaohsiung Port Fire Department. It also coordinated with 45 firefighters and 22 fire trucks from the Tainan City Fire Department, and 9 firefighters from the Pingtung County Fire Department and 4 fire trucks from the Pingtung County Fire Department to carry out on-site rescue. At present, it has been more than five hours since the gas explosion occurred in Qianzhen District of Kaohsiung City, and Ersheng and Kaixuan Roads are still burning into the early morning. Taiwan troops gathered at Yingming and Ersheng intersections to dispatch rescue operations. Or it was caused by the flow of petrochemical liquids in the sewer. As for the cause of the incident, relevant officials in Kaohsiung City concluded that the petrochemical liquids flowed to the side ditch on the roadside, then to the box culverts, and flowed along the rainwater sewer. The official said that there are pipeline units such as Taiwan's "China Petroleum", Taiwan's "Sinopec", Xingao Gas and Telecommunications in the sewer. Petrochemical liquids may catch fire and explode when they hit the ditch cover and are cremated, which will lead to the explosion from Yixin, Ersheng, Sanduo, Kaixuan Road. Kaohsiung Water Conservancy Director Li Xianyi said that the Water Conservancy Bureau was worried that the explosion would destroy the sewage and rainwater sewers built by the Water Conservancy Bureau. A preliminary inspection of the rainwater and sewage sewers showed that some sections still had water flow; The Water Conservancy Bureau is worried that once the rainwater drainage channel is damaged, it may be difficult to vent its anger in heavy rain.
