(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-05-01 13:37 GUANGZHOU -- Three workers were confirmed dead and nine others injured when a workshop collapsed Thursday in south China's Guangdong Province, witnesses and the local government said Friday. The accident happened at around 2:30 pm at an embroidery plant in Xintang town of Zengcheng, a city near Guangzhou. Witnesses said they heard a bang and saw thick smokes and dust. "I saw several workers running out of the place, panic-stricken and crying for help," said a man surnamed Li, who works for a molding factory nearby. "I asked them what was going on. Unable to utter a word, they just pointed to their damaged workshop, which was in a mess with toppled walls and ceiling, broken spinners and people crying."
Another worker died at hospital Thursday night. The nine injured workers are still in hospital Friday. Investigators said the plant's next-door neighbor, a printing company, was to blame for the accident. "The printing company is under renovation and began removing its roof on Wednesday," said a resident surnamed Wang, who claimed to have seen five workers trying to dismantle the roof with hammers. "Tragically, the other roof collapsed." The two companies both operate in rented facilities, a row of six old warehouses that belonged to a local cereal firm. |
