The gas explosion at Shin Kong Mitsukoshi in Taichung shocked the whole of Taiwan. The cause of the accident was unknown. After an overnight interview, the prosecutors and police held a special meeting on the afternoon of the 14th and returned to the scene for inspection. They found that not only was the fire-fighting equipment turned off at the time of the incident, but the fire department also confirmed that the explosion occurred 20 minutes after the smell of gas was detected. In addition, the city government first fined Shin Kong Mitsukoshi NT$1.2 million for not applying for construction and for fire violations, and the thrilling scene of debris scattering in an instant at the moment of the gas explosion was also exposed for the first time.

Attorney Li Yusheng of Fidelity Law Offices said that if the construction workers in this case were negligent and caused the gas explosion disaster, they might be held criminally liable for negligent homicide or negligent injury, and both the construction workers and the construction company would be liable for damages under civil law. In addition, Shin Kong Mitsukoshi did not report the construction work to the Metropolitan Development Bureau, which is an administrative violation. If it is ultimately determined that there is a causal relationship between the accident and the construction work, the company may also be held legally responsible.
