#2 Ah, yes, the little known explosives storage area of the hospital. Must have been in the Wong Wing.

#4 Gasses used in anesthesia are usually explosive, also whether or not the gasses blew, they always have Pure Oxygen.

In the presence of Pure Oxygen even a charcoal briquette becomes explosive. Those "NO SMOKING" signs are not just beaurocratic whim.

#5 It seems to be carelessness with explosives:
The explosion in a storeroom below a ground-floor garage destroyed a small hostel and damaged other buildings at the staff hospital run by the Xuangang Electricity and Coal Co. in the Shanxi province city of Yuanping.

Think "company hospital", like in the old mine company towns in the eastern US.

'Local police have found large quantities of detonators and blasting fuses at the incident spot and are further investigating the cause of the explosion,' the agency said. Hospital staff said drivers held keys to the storerooms under the garage and that explosives and butane gas tanks may have been stored there. The hospital is very close to one of the company's coal mines, where explosives are used regularly, a hospital administrator said.

Storeroom under garage at rooming house right next to hospital, not in hospital itself.

A visitor to the hospital reported seeing a fire in the garage about one minute before the explosion, a hospital security officer told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa by telephone on Monday. The agency showed photographs of the flattened garage and the extensive damage to one end of a five-storey apartment block used by hospital staff. The explosion also destroyed six one-storey buildings that were used as a hostel and were 'full of people' early Monday, it quoted eyewitnesses as saying. A local government official said the hostel was used mainly by migrant workers.
