3 people will be transferred to judicial organs for the Xiamen noodle store explosion, which happened in 2014.

The explosion happened at 11:29am on September 19th last year in a Shacha noodle restaurant located on the first floor of the Fuyuan Apartment Building. 5 people were killed and 18 were injured in the explosion.

A comprehensive analysis showed that a gas leak in the kitchen caused the blast.

The powerful explosion shattered the windows of the restaurant and some neighboring shops and iron gates at some shops were twisted by the force of the explosion. The direct economic loss caused by the explosion was more than 8.9 million yuan.

According to reports, Ye Zhidian and Chen Changtai, who sent the gas tanks to the restaurant, are not qualified for gas distribution anymore. They will be investigated for legal responsibility according to the law.
