During the dinner, Li drank "a considerable amount" of baiju liquor, with his blood alcohol content measuring 154 milligrams per 100 millilitres during a breathalyzer test at 20:00, around five or six hours later. Attack At approximately 15:00, Li was in the process of using a loader to fill coal into a truck from Qianxian when the truck driver, Qian, accused Li of mixing in coal dust and gangue into the order. An argument broke out, which was broken up by the coal yard's owner, Zhang. Li subsequently re-entered the shovel loader and rammed a makeshift annex building, killing a resting customer inside. At 15:47, Li drove the loader out of the yard onto Jingyuan Road. After ramming into the wall of another nearby coal yard, the loader continued west, purposely ramming other vehicles and steering into pedestrians. At about 16:00, after driving two kilometres, Li turned south into the residential area of Nanzuo, where a street market was being held. In town, he crashed into parked vehicles and intentionally ran over small shops and pedestrians.Aug 2, 2010 Angry drunk kills 11 at Chinese mine http://www.upi.com/Top_News/International/2010/08/02/Angry-drunk-kills-11-at-Chinese-mine/UPI-33591280751417/ UPI http://www.thehindu.com/news/international/article548063.ece https://web.archive.org/web/20100805001021/http://www.thehindu.com/news/international/article548063.ece dead 5 August 2010 China coal worker kills 11 in drunken rampage with tractor The Hindu August 2, 2010 August 2, 2010 Several passersby intervened to stop the attack.
