MRTB Director Chen Tsun-yung (陳存永) stated afterwards that the bureau did not know about the pipelines that did not belong to the MRT system. “The pipelines we had to inspect for the MRT system were ones that are less than one meter under the ground; I did not know about the LCY pipelines that were 1.5 meters below,” said the director.

Kaohsiung's Public Works Bureau (PWB) Director Yang Ming-chou (楊明州) noted that the PWB did not have information and pipeline graphs provided by LCY; the company or unit in charge of each pipeline should provide the said information on their own.

“The PWB charges each unit in control of a pipeline road usage fees, and LCY has indeed paid its share. But this does not mean the government knows there were LCY pipelines there,” said PWB Department of Planning head Su Lung-hua (蘇隆華).

Four Leading Kaohsiung Officials Resign

A week after the multiple explosions that ripped apart several blocks in Kaohsiung's city center, four of the southern city's leading political officials tendered their resignations to Mayor Chen.

Deputy Mayor Wu Hong-mo (吳宏謀), Water Resources Bureau head Lee Hsien-yi (李賢義), PWB head Yang Ming-chou (楊明州) and MRTB head Chen Tsun-yung (陳存永) all decided to step down yesterday afternoon in order to take responsibility for the explosions, but the mayor has not yet approved the resignations.

LCY Head Attacked at Memorial Service

A public memorial service was held yesterday for the 30 people who died in the explosions, as it had been seven days since their deaths. Chen attended the service to pay her respects to the dead, also promising that she would discuss the issue of the pipeline reconstruction with the units in charge and give the citizens a “satisfactory answer.”

“We will replace mourning with humbleness and activeness, hoping that Kaohsiung will not be beaten,” said Chen. “Kaohsiung has been identified as an industrial city; the government has been trying to change that image in recent years and leave behind the city's fate of remaining a city of heavy industries, yet we have not worked hard enough.”

LCY Chairman Bowei Lee (李謀偉) also attended the public service, leading a group of his staff to pay their respects to the dead. A scuffle ensued shortly after Lee arrived, with the family of the deceased rushing at him and some even throwing bottled water and cups at his head. “We have arrived late,” Lee was heard saying at the service.

“獲得進一步的了解後，（我們）發現，我們的團隊犯了嚴重錯誤的時候遇到橫向溝通......但是（我們）沒有說謊，說：”在她道歉後接受採訪市長。

熱感應雙筒望遠鏡導演陳駿庸（陳存永）事後表示，該局並不知道這不屬於捷運系統的管道。“我們必須檢查是否有捷運系統的管道是那些在地面下不到一米; 我不知道該李長榮管道都低於1.5米，“導演說。

高雄市政府工務局（印刷電路板）主任楊明宙（楊明州）指出，工作計劃和預算沒有通過李長榮提供的信息和管線圖; 負責各管道的公司或單位應提供自己的上述信息。

“工作計劃和預算各收費單位的管線道路使用費的控制，以及李長榮確實支付的份額。但是，這並不意味著政府知道有李長榮管道存在“規劃的頭蔌櫨嗯華的工作計劃和預算部稱（蘇隆華）。

四大高雄官員辭職

副市長吳泓謨（吳宏謀），水利局負責人李顯一（李賢義），印刷電路板頭洋銘宙（楊明州）和熱感應雙筒望遠鏡頭陳浚庸（陳存永）都決定在下台昨日下午為了承擔起爆炸事件負責，但市長尚未批准辭呈。

李長榮負責人襲擊了紀念儀式

公共追悼會昨天舉行的30人誰在爆炸死了，因為它已經因為他們的死亡是七天。陳出席的服務支付她的敬意死，也有為她會討論管線改造與主管單位的問題，並給市民一個“滿意的答复。”

“我們將用謙卑和主動性更換哀悼，希望高雄也不會挨打，”陳先生說。“高雄已被確定為一個工業城市; 政府一直在試圖改變這種形象，近年來並留下其餘城市重工業城市的命運背後，但我們並沒有努力不夠。“

李長榮董事長李博維（李謀偉）也參加了公共服務，帶領一群他的工作人員來瞻仰死者。一場混戰後，隨後不久李某趕到，與死者家屬搶他，有的甚至投擲瓶裝水和杯子在他的頭上。“我們已經來晚了，”李聽到說在服務。
