(Baonghean.vn) - Two sisters were removing rice paper from the conveyor belt when suddenly, the boiler exploded like a bomb, killing the older sister and seriously injuring her younger brother.
As reported, at around 9am on July 14, at the rice paper production kiosk in Vinh Duc rice paper production village, block 7, Do Luong town, a terrible gas cylinder explosion occurred. Initial information shows that the explosion killed Ms. Dinh Thi Thao (born in 1999) and seriously injured her younger brother Dinh Cao Nguyen.
On the afternoon of July 14, authorities said that in this explosion, Mr. Dinh Viet Hung (Ms. Thao’s father) was also injured. All 3 family members were making rice paper on an assembly line.

In recent years, some households have produced rice paper on an assembly line using industrial boilers, instead of the traditional manual method of making rice paper using wood-fired boilers.
