- A large fire is currently burning at a lithium battery manufacturing plant in South Korea. One person has been confirmed dead, and at least 21 others are unaccounted for. The incident occurred in Hwaseong, in Gyeonggi province, in the northwestern part of the country. Over 140 firefighters have been dispatched to the factory to attempt to contain the blaze. However, fire chiefs report that it is impossible for crews to enter the premises due to the continuous explosions of battery cells.
Al Jazeera’s Eunice Kim joins us on the phone from Gwangmyeong City, South Korea, to discuss the latest updates.

RIP..Prayers for families..The use of spirally wound lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) cells is currently limited because of their hazardous behavior. Use for medical devices etc..not ev's
Check out Scotland lithium factory too it just happened today no casualties ....
Very sad news, my God saved all the humans.
That's so green!
I am surprised that never happened before, with those dangerous batteries

check out BESS incidents on google, has happened all over the world
Look for the subversion operations of the russian special services
Korea
With electric cars being pushed on us, have we really studied the consequences of lithium fires?
Where does it say this factory manufacturers for EV cars? Lithium batteries in pretty much everything including the phone you are posting front. Idiot.
Yeah, because oil refineries never catch fire
@@djinghiskhan9199 lithium batteries are more volatile than gasoline
@@diegoflores9237sorry wanna try that one again 🤦🏻♂️
@@diegoflores9237 No they are not more volatile.
Everything is around us is so dangerous however we continue to work with that peace be upon them
What a traffic jam getting ting out of harvest point when that happens in SH 😢
I'm reading comments about electric vehicles , Lg and so on. Which are root-cause , end market , manufactur , policy of management of chemical , safety?

Authority such as Yoon and his cabinet members need to be alert and perform regular audits on these high-risk businesses.
Don't learn from disasters. Remember the bad accident at Jeju and Itaewon.
We still remember. Thought S Korea is a very well governed country. Maybe only in K drama. Sad.
EV batteries are so good for the environment. You can see here! 😆
What are you supposed to do? Spray water on lithium? Sad the 21 people lost their lives so far to this
Oh no!!!!!
Oh, yes!
22 people died
😢😢😢😢😢

Safety management, safety handling.
The toxic fumes being exhausted into the air might be more problematic than people think.
Industrial Revolution guys. We call this human wonders, by breathing in toxic air.
it's a exothermic chemical reaction . water will just turn to steam .good luck putting this out .😟

“They will be gone soon, so they will destroy everything..!”
"The whole world has discovered their truth."
Wow, and not one N-word. Mel is getting better lol
Is he talking about covid?
Oops. There goes the carbon footprint.......🤷
LFP batterys can't burn
They can burn, but they are far less likely to do so. LiFePO4 is one of the safer lithium battery chemistries.
Machines are gaining temperature how much cooling system for all proces if it's temparature fluctuations continue movings from last digits ,two hours during office of it's workings process just air conditioning freezing system double dual system creates vacuum at Asians temperature is for batteries it's temparature also stable at
If no proper information or what be happened maximum minimum circumstances through seasonal behaviours weather is
Scary
Eunice. Awful name created out of Yu Na.
I was like EUNICE.....my Korean friends always have names like this, the. they tell me their Korean name and I wonder why they don't go by that lol
All for the money.
BYD batteries are most safe. EVs deploying LG Chem batteries are prone to explosion
BYD dealerships would disagree with you.
This is not the electric vehicle battery company you're talking about.
As a lithium battery plant, smart meters such as electricity, gas, and water, and smart grids applied to energy drilling equipment such as oil and gas, or military use maintenance are the main markets.

@@MickB52sI didn't get that could you type it again.
Byd is lithium iron phosphate battery
1:39 "They don't turn on any easier than traditional batteries"
I hope you're joking or you're kidding me, I've never heard that traditional batteries catch fire but on the other hand lithium ion batteries contain fuel and oxidizer inside them.
They have to say that. Don't forget most people aren't that acute nor that awake to think on their own.

pollution
Can this be espionage by CCP
There were many chinese workers. Use ur brain
Yeah right. Easy just blame China.
whats wrong with u?
😂😂😂
Wtf
Putin

Dammm eve’s are a threat to humanity 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Ever seen an oil depot fire?

Lithium 😂 something you know nothing!
🥰💋🇰🇵👇💥🚀 🔥🇰🇷🔥
Putin warned them not to supply weapons to Ukraine!
Net zero.😅
