GAS EXPLORATION +++++++++++++++++++ Taiwans second city moved to seize the assets of the chemical company it holds responsible for deadly gas explosions which killed 30 people and left more than 300 injured. The city government blamed LCY Chemical Corp. for last Thursdays powerful blasts, which sparked massive fires that tore through the streets of the southern metropolis and threw vehicles onto the roofs of buildings several stories high. Officials say around 10 tonnes of propene may have leaked from pipelines operated by LCY Chemical in the hours before the first explosion, and on Wednesday asked a court for permission to seize assets worth tens of millions of dollars in order to pay compensation to affected residents.
