BEIJING (AP) — An explosion at a steel mill in China’s northeast killed four people and left five hospitalized with injuries, the city government said Friday.

A blast furnace exploded Thursday morning at the Yingkou Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. in Yingkou, east of Beijing in Liaoning province, the city’s Emergency Management Bureau said in a statement.

The cause was under investigation, but experts believe an equipment malfunction was to blame, the announcement said.

Phone calls to the Yingkou government Friday weren’t answered.

The disaster occurred less than 12 hours after an explosion Wednesday evening blamed on cooking gas killed 31 people in a barbecue restaurant in Yinchuan, a city in China’s northwest.

That was a spectacular day! I am from Florida, which if you didn’t know is the home of Orlando. Orlando has a distict surplus of theme parks, including Disneyworld, Universal Studios, and, until last year, Wet N’ Wild (the best water park ever).

I miss theme parks being easily available and cheaply priced (for Florida residents).

Yingkou Atlantis quenched that thirst for me. I will return here, so worth it
