4 die from falling steel panels
Print Edition
FOUR men working in a steel store in Putuo District, Shanghai, were killed when panels fell on them yesterday morning, according to the district government.
The four were confirmed dead at the scene.
The men were arranging steel panels at Shanghai Zhongxin Stainless Steel Store when the panels tilted to one side and fell on them, and they were allegedly killed due to “suffocation,” the police said, adding that the owner of the store was being questioned.
An employee of the store, who was absent when the incident happened, said there were seven or eight people inside the store and that they are relatives of the boss. He said in the store’s six years of existence, nothing like this had happened before.
A man who runs a similar business nearby told Shanghai Daily that a steel panel weighs at least 50 kilograms and that a full shelf of panels could weigh up to 4 to 5 tons.
