HANGZHOU, July 22 -- Residents of Hangzhou, capital of east China's Zhejiang Province, have flooded into local blood donation centers, following an explosion that killed two and injured 45 others on Friday.
As of Saturday morning, seven of the injured, two males and five females, remained in critical conditions, and doctors have traveled from Shanghai to assist with their treatment, according to provincial health authorities.
Yang Jing, director of the provincial health and family planning commission, is leading the treatment plan.
The explosion ripped through the ground and second floors of three restaurants at around 8:30 a.m., destroying an area of 200 square meters on Gudun Road near West Lake. The blast shattered the windows of passing vehicles, including a bus, which caused most of the injuries.
Bottled liquefied petroleum gas has been blamed for causing the explosion.
Liang Chao said he was lucky as he took a detour on his way to work on Friday morning to avoid a traffic jam.
"I drive along that road every day, and could have been one of the victims," he said, while waiting in line to donate blood along with his wife, surnamed Chen.
After hearing about the explosion, the couple rushed to a blood donation center just 300 meters from the blast site.
"We often eat at these restaurants. Many of the injured were here to have breakfast or wait for buses outside," said Chen. "I hope we can help them by donating blood."
