First stage of Chinese rocket crashes in Chinese city

Locals in the city of Shangluo, population over two million located in central China, today released video images of the remains of the first stage of a Long March 2C rocket that launched yesterday and apparently crashed in the city.
The image to the right is a screen capture. Since this two-stage rocket uses extremely toxic hypergolic fuels in both of its stages, those citizens wandering around the rocket’s remains are in great health danger.
Shangluo is a moderate-sized - by Chinese standards - city in SE Shaanxi Proving, a bit SE of the 6x larger city of Xi'an.
