    A district government in Hangzhou has said that compensation has been granted to victims of an accident that occurred during the city's annual firework show on Saturday night, leaving 151people injured.

    A third of "the injured and affected" victims have been "properly satisfied" through phone calls or home visits, and those who were injured in the accident are being compensated, according to a statement released on Sunday afternoon on the official website of the Gongshu district in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang province, where the accident occurred.

    The firework show, held along the Grand Canal - also known as the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal -is one of the most famous and popular firework displays in China and attracted more than 500,000 people this year. The event is held annually to mark the opening of the Hangzhou West Lake Expo and used to come as the climax of the three-week-long Expo after it resumed in 2000.

    Most of the injured suffered minor burns and were taken to Hangzhou No 2 People's Hospital, where they were treated and released, said Chen Jini, the chief nurse. Five people, including a child, suffered severe injuries and were still being evaluated.

    The cause of the accident has not been determined, but a local radio program, Hangzhou Traffic 918, said a malfunction occurred during the lighting of the fireworks, causing them to explode in midair.

    One tourist surnamed Ma said that four or five fireworks - instead of blasting into the air – shot straight at her "like bullets" about 15 minutes after the show had begun, Xinhua News Agency's affiliate Xiandai Jinbao reported. The "spray of sparks" continued for around 20 seconds, sending the crowd scrambling for cover and screaming for help, Ma said.

    Others complained that security officers at the site were "inexperienced students" from a police school and offered little help. They also said the fireworks continued after sparks began hitting the audience.

    A total of 150,000 fireworks have been lit for the expo this year, 50,000 fewer than last year. The smaller number is due to "environmental protection".

    Around 30,000 fireworks were lit at the Grand Canal. All of the fireworks were less than 10centimeters wide.

    Residents, especially in the capital city of Zhejiang province, called for a reduction in annual firework displays after the accident, saying it would reduce noise and air pollution.

    Statistics from the Hangzhou-based Qianjiang Evening Newspaper showed that 260 tons of garbage were produced and 883 traffic accidents were reported during the one-night firework display on Saturday.

    Gu Xiaoming, a sociologist from Fudan University, said a public event should not be canceled or criticized just because an accident had happened.

    Questions:

    1. How many people were injured from the fireworks?

    2. What is the Grand Canal also known as?

    3. How many tons of garbage were produced according to Qianjian Evening Newspaper?

    Answers:

    1. 151

    2. Beijing-Hangzhou Canal

    3. 260 tons
