Deputy Director, Xian Branch of China Coal Research Institute
Dong, Chair of the expert committee which was invited by the local government in Guangdong concluded a coal mine was safe for production, without going down the mine himself. Hours after the the final report was submitted to his sponsor, and even before the 'expert committee' could fly out the local airport, the mine was submerged by water, and 123 miners died. It was long known fact that those mines were not safe to be dug. They were closed by the provincial safety administration in 2001.
Although Dong is not as established or influential as his peer rotten intellectuals exposed by this log, he is one of the deadliest nonetheless. His priced-for-fast-order 'expert opinion' costs 123 lives.
