Restaurant gas explosion in eastern China causes 2 deaths

Just two months after a restaurant gas explosion caused 31 deaths in northwest China, another deadly restaurant blast occurred in eastern China over the weekend.

A gas explosion Sunday at a restaurant in eastern China killed two people, state media reported, two months after a deadly restaurant blast prompted the government to order a safety crackdown.

The explosion at 7:15 a.m. at a grilled fish restaurant in the city of Gaomi was powerful enough to knock a passing car sideways on the street outside, according to a video on the website of the Beijing Youth Daily newspaper.
