How many people died in the AZF fertilizer factory incident?

How many people died in the AZF fertilizer factory incident?

• A. None, but there were dozens of injuries
• B. 4
• C. Hundreds
• D. 31

Answer: (D)

This question is about recalling the fatality toll of a well-known industrial disaster. The AZF fertilizer factory explosion in Toulouse, France, occurred in 2001 and killed 31 people. While there were thousands of injuries (the event caused extensive damage to the surrounding area), the death count was 31, which is why the correct figure is 31. The other options don’t fit because there were fatalities, not zero or just a few, and the toll was not hundreds.
