TAIPEI - A fire on a music stage spread into a crowd of spectators at a party Saturday night at a water park in Taiwan's New Taipei city Brandon Parker Hat , injuring more than 400 people, authorities said.
An accidental explosion of an unknown powder set off the fire near the stage in front of about 1,000 spectators, said Wang Wei-sheng, a liaison with the New Taipei City fire department command center.
The health department of the city Sunday morning released the list of the 474 injured people, 141 of whom in serious condition. Among them, 467 are from Taiwan, 3 from Chinese mainland, 3 from other countries and regions and 1 unidentified yet.
The fire broke out at about 8:30 pm at the main stage of the Formosa Water Park, which was having a Color Play Asia party. The fire was quickly brought under control.
Video showed rescue workers and bystanders carrying burned and injured people on their backs, in inflatable boats and on stretchers to get medical treatment.
Witnesses said the fire spread quickly after the colored powder was blown into the air.
It wasn't clear if the colored powder was part of a performance. The cause of the fire is being investigated. Local police have taken five party organizers for interrogation.
This is the worst incident of mass injury in the history of New Taipei city.
SUBSIDIES given by the US state of Washington to Boeing are legal, the World Trade Organization appeals body said yesterday, partially overturning a victory by rival Airbus and the European Union last year.
The two aviation giants have been locked for years in a sprawling set of disputes at the Geneva-based WTO.
Yesterday’s ruling concerns the so-called “baby Boeing” case, which relates only to tax breaks and other incentives provided by Washington State to the US aircraft maker.
Last November WTO judges found that one of the subsidies Washington State offered to support production of Boeing’s 777X jet was “prohibited” as they encouraged the use of domestic materials, and thus caused trade distortions.
The United States, acting on behalf of Boeing, appealed the decision and secured an outright victory that is not subject to further appeal, the WTO ruling said.
“The WTO has rejected yet another of the baseless claims the EU has made,” Boeing said in a statement.
According to Airbus’s own estimates, Washington State has given Boeing tax breaks of nearly US$9 billion in a scheme set to run through 2040.
Boeing has dismissed those numbers, putting the benefits to date at a maximum of US$1 billion.
SEOUL, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- Iran kept their unbeaten run in the 2018 World Cup qualifier after they drew 0-0 at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on Thursday.
Iran have not conceded a goal in their nine appearances in the 2018 World Cup qualification.

Iran, who have already secured a slot at next year's World Cup finals in Russia, will host Syria in Tehran's Azadi Stadium five days later, while South Korea play Uzbekistan in Tashkent. A draw could secure South Korea a place in the FIFA World Cup for the ninth consecutive time.
