Regulation bans vehicles loaded with explosives from carrying passengers.
Safety violations on a vehicle unloading explosives have been cited following a deadly tunnel blast in Central China's Hunan province that killed 20 people on Saturday.
The blast at a highway construction site occurred when explosives were being unloaded from a vehicle.
A spokesman for the State Administration of Work Safety, who requested anonymity, said on Sunday that the vehicle carrying the explosives belonged to the construction team building the tunnel. He also said that safety rules were violated as more than one person was in the vehicle at the time.
"The regulations state that there must not be any passengers in a vehicle transporting explosives."
The victims of the blast were in close proximity to the vehicle.
"More than 200 kilograms of explosives were in the vehicle as the blast happened," the spokesman said

Two were arrested for the killing two Chinese students...It's time for the parents to sue the school and the city for misleading information about safety and security in the area where the school is located. They should have informed the parents that it is a violent crime infested area and their children studied there at their own risk so they can take precaution!!!

On the other hand doesn't this justify the use of firearms for self-defense? What is the current policy on guns for immigrants?

The more firearms, the more killing. Should somebody open a thread dedicated to firearm violence?

What we should be looking at is the proportion of gun use which is actually for self defense, vs other nefarious uses. Then compared the casualties that were prevented through self defense vs extra casualties that were inflicted through these other uses.

I think I know already which number is higher for both cases.

USC should think about providing more graduate student housing, not just the undergraduate on campus. If it's off campus, provide some student shuttle busing to and from campus. USC has money they just don't want to spend it.

I'm pleased that the culprits that murdered the students in LA are in police custody.

Her post was forwarded more than 80,000 times within just a few days, with tens of thousands of microbloggers printing out the portrait and taking photos with it in a variety of locations, from the Thames River and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to a zoo in Seychelles.
