Article title[edit]

"Accident" is a loaded term that should not be used. It implies that it was unpreventable. We don’t know that. This should be replaced with a neutral term like incident or explosion. Schwede 66 17:55, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly agree. This is a contagious, addictive terminology which is a bad writing and overgeneralized. Dreameditsbrooklyn (talk) 03:58, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense. Past events are all named in a more specific way: Category:Coal mining disasters in China 94rain ^Talk 05:26, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
