A fire at a poultry slaughterhouse in northeast China on Monday morning killed at least 119 people and injured 54 more. The doors of the plant were locked at the time of the fire, with more than 300 workers said to be working inside. Outraged citizens took to social media websites to express their anger over the incident towards the authorities, demanding a complete investigation of the accident. The cause of the fire is still unknown. With several similar incidents occurring within the last decade, China is reputed to have a poor record for fire safety.
