In a shocking turn-of-events a 62-year old Fan crashed his car into people near a sports-centre in Zhuhai causing massive casualties; the incident happened just 2 days ago
Local authorities waited almost a day to tell about the tragedy which left 35 people dead and 43 with bad injuries (the driver was mad about his divorce assets split). The west-side of the sports-centre is now blocked-off with metal barriers
Xi Jinping and Li Qiang made statements about the case: both asked to help hurt people and find-out what happened. “All places must learn from this and stop such risks early“ Xi said in his message
The event shocked many chinese people who posted online about it but most posts got removed fast. Some talked about other attacks that happened recently:
- A knife attack near Beijing school last month
- A killing of foreign student in Shenzhen about 2 months ago
People left flowers and candles near the attack spot but by next morning everything was gone. One web-user wrote something interesting before censors removed it: “What if we had guns here; we would destroy each other“ The post didnt stay up long
Some people think smart-cars could stop such things in future - “Cars should stop if they see they will hit people on purpose“ wrote someone on Weibo social network. Others say putting stone blocks near public places is better idea
