13 Tons of Express Packages Burned to Ashes! Are Yours Alright?

It is reported that over 7,000 Singles' Day Sales express packages weighing around 13 tons were burned to ashes en route to delivery on an expressway. 

After the crazy double 11 shopping festival, the number of packages to be sent is going to reach a new high. However, an incident happened. 

It is reported that a truck container filled with express packages burst into flames while the vehicle was moving on an expressway in Anyang, Central China's Henan Province on Tuesday. 

According to BJnews, most of the goods were commodities, cooking oils, and tissues. 

Most of the goods were ruined, but no one was injured or killed during the incident as CCTV reported. 

The express company, Hangzhou-based Best Express, posted an announcement on Weibo, saying that it will compensate customers and dispatch replacements. 

"We have positively talked with our clients… most of the packages have been re-delivered, and all the packages will be dispatched within three days" 

The fire was extinguished two hours later after firefighters arrived at the scene on Tuesday. The site has now been cleared, and normal traffic has resumed.  

The topic #Your Singles' Day's delivery might be burnt# topped the list of Weibo trends with more than 680 million reads and 62,000 discussions. 

Many netizens said the driver's and firefighters' safety is more important than the delivery. 

A netizen posted a screenshot of his message, showing that his package is one of those in the burned container 

The cause of the fire is still under investigation. If you have any package recently delivering from Beijing to Hunan, please double check its situation.
