孟加拉国拆船厂毒气泄漏致9人死亡
Nine workers were killed and several others injured after suspected toxic gas leaked inside a ship being dismantled at a ship-breaking yard in Sitakunda, southeastern Bangladesh, on Friday. The workers were cleaning and maintaining the vessel when gas reportedly escaped from a tank. The government has launched an investigation and suspended operations. The accident highlights serious safety risks at ship-breaking yards, where workers can face toxic gases, heavy metals and falling steel.
周五，孟加拉国东南部吉大港一处拆船厂发生疑似毒气泄漏，造成9名工人死亡、多人受伤。工人在船内进行清理和维护时，疑似有毒气体从储罐泄漏。政府已成立调查委员会，并暂停该拆船厂作业。此次事故再次暴露了拆船行业存在的严重安全风险，工人可能面临毒气、重金属和钢材坠落等危险。
