Propylene gas leaks triggered a gas explosion on July 31, 2014 that has claimed 28 lives and injured about 351 in Taiwan’s second largest city.

In the aftermath of the explosion, the city has been littered with debris and appears as if it was hit by a missile. (Please click here for a Google 3D map view of the explosion site.)
