This report shows how the only interesting news is news about tragedy and how there is always someone or some thing to blame for an accident. This fire in China killed around 53 people and injured at least 70 other people because of an apparent violation of safety rules by unqualified welders. Whether it was the welders' fault or not may be minuscule compared to why the fire actually killed 50+ people. Why wasn't there a fire department or some other fire-fighting force there sooner? And perhaps its not the welders' fault for the fire, but rather the building materials if they are so flammable. Maybe China needs a revamp of their building codes and regulations instead of their safety regulations.
