This week in explosions

There's been lots of explosions around China this week it seems, all kinds of explosions. The video here, sent in by a netizen to 56.com, shows a fire which broke out in a cinema in Hunan Province's Hengyang city. Only one person was killed, the cinema's on-duty manager. Meanwhile Reuters tells us of a nightclub blast which killed 25 and injured 33 in Benxi, Liaoning. In yet another freak accident, a 22-year-old Chinese man died when his mobile phone battery exploded due to the summer heat. The brand of the mobile phone has not been disclosed and this is understood to be the very first mobile phone explosion death in China.
