A giant fire engulfed a beached tanker today killing at least ten workers at the Gadani shipbreaking area in Pakistan injuring another 50.
A welding error led to a blast on the ship, which rapidly spread into a blaze with images and videos seen by Splash showing dark, vast plumes above the beached vessel.
Rescue teams are currently trying to get many of the injured out from inside the ship.
Pakistan’s prime minister Nawaz Sharif expressed grief over the accident and urged local authorities to speed up rescue operations.
