Pipelines damaged after an explosion caused by a flash fire at a paraxylene (PX) plant in Zhangzhou of East China's Fujian province on Tuesday morning, July 30, 2013. The pipelines, not in full use, were being filled with hydrogen for a pressure test when the gas leaked from a welding joint and exploded.
