A selfless kind of love, that’s caused this man, to lose his own life in the process, from the Front Page Sections, translated…
A car factory in Sinchuang caught on fire, because of the explosion in the transformer unit, plus, there were, the industrial used oils stored in the factory, the fire spread, quickly. The factory owner, Tsao had originally made it out all right, but, to save his own wife, he’d, run in, to search for her again, but, his wife got out already, and, he ended up, getting, swallowed by the flames, his wife and three other employees suffered minor injuries in the process.
The witnesses told, that at noon yesterday, they saw the explosions in the transformer manufacturer factory, then, dark smoke came rising from the building. The employees told, that as the fire happened, the fifty-one year-old factory owner, Tsao, already ran from the second floor to the exit, but, because he didn’t see his wife outside, he’d, turned back in, to search for her, and now, they’re, separated, by life and death.
As Tsao’s wife saw her husband, getting hauled outside dead, she’d started, crying, having suffered minor smoke inhalation, she’d, insisted on accompanying her husband to the hospitals, then, have her injuries looked at. The forty-four year-old wife of Tsao said, that back then, smoke and fire were rising up in the factory, she couldn’t see things clearly, rushed toward the exit downstairs, fast as she could, not knowing, that her husband would, come back in, to find her.
As the firefighters found Tsao, the factory owner in the second-floor bathrooms, he’d stopped breathing already. From the injuries, the firefighters deducted that as he’d rushed back in, because of how fierce the fire burned, he probably, tried to duck out in the bathrooms; because the fire burned through the plastic doors of the bathrooms, he had, NO place to run to, thus, got killed by the fire. After he was rushed to the hospitals, because there were, over forty-percent burns all over his body, plus he’d inhaled in so much smoke, after resuscitation, he’d still, died.
The other three workers, with Tsao’s wife, ran out on their own after the fire started, they were all lucid, suffering only minor smoke inhalation, they were taken to the Asian East Hospital, and the Taipei Hospital of the Department of Health and Sanitations for observations.
The neighbors nearby told, that after they’d heard the explosions, they’d lifted up their heads, saw thick smoke rising from the factory, and heard constant screams from it, the fire spread to the residences behind the factory too, there was, chaos all around.
Back then, the owner, Chen who was on the first floor had tried putting the fires out with a fire extinguisher, and called for everybody to leave. But because the fire raged out of control, he and two other foreign hired hands were able to make it out successfully; the cause of the fire is now, pending investigations.
The police and fire department told, that the factory mainly manufactured the screws, and, the explosion had expanded to the oils used by the machines, and started burning up. It’d taken 150 members of the firefighters, and fifty-two fire engines, to finally, put out the flames.
So, this is an accidental death caused by an accidental fire, and, had this man not gone back in to search for his own wife, he would still probably be alive, but, that just shows, how this man put his own wife’s life ahead of his own, and that, is an amazing sort of love, and now, he’d, died, so, it’s still, quite tragic!
