Chemical error caused port pipeline blast, finds probe

Chinese authority blamed about chemical that use for ridding off sulphur from crude oil, which was used for blasting, on the northeast area. In fact, a desulphurising chemical mistakely pumped into pipeline and tanker had stopped receipt crude. Then, an explosion was happening during proceeding of pumping. After 300,000 tons tanker had done uploading its oil at 1 pm, Technical Service inserted desulfurizer into the pipeline. The explosion appeared in Shanghai. The report said that many people and children, who stayed near by the beaches and residents, were risked by oil that spill out. Government immediately gathered numerous of fishing boat for cleaning the sea. These damages spread over at least 435 square kilometers after the blast, which is affecting human and sea animal such as fish. Over 2000 soldiers used chopstick and bare hand to rid off the oil. It is about 1500 ton was spill out.
I think oil spilling gave terrible affect to animal and human because this is hard to rid and clean. I think government should pay all that damage, oil spill because the oil destroy the environment and sea, which is house of sea animal.
