SINGAPORE : In another industrial accident in Singapore, reinforcement bars have collapsed at the construction site of Fusionpolis at Ayer Rajah Avenue.

SCDF says it received a call at about 1.45pm about the collapse.

There are also four ambulances and four fire engines at the scene.

same construction site where last year they dug out 200 bombs left over from WWII.
 

It's so sad. HOpe that they can find the 5 missing people alive.
Bad omen really, 2 collapse within a month...
 

well he aint called a digital rebel for nothing
haha


but sad day for the construction industry...and those poor guys underneath
we can only hope for the best, but we cant say we understand them because how many of us have been thru these incidents before?

this tells us we must be careful in everything we do..be safe not sorry
 

apparently a truckload of reinforcement beams which were to be installed in the worksite came loose from the transport and rolled into the basement construction pit and hitting existing support beam causing a chain-collapse of the support beams. The pit is about 5 level deep.

The MRT tunnel next to the site is not involved.

Lucky came back early from lunch otherwise would be stuck outside.
 

let's all pray for the missing people and hope they will be rescured soon.
 

C'MON GUYS !!!!!!

Update : 1 being rescued and 28 hospitalised, unfortunately, 1 dead. and 3 are still missinng.

Ditto... As much as we do not wish to see such accidents from happening, we should be thankful that we do have a pretty capable SCDF (as compared to the stadard they were in during the collapse of Hotel New World) which I'm confident of doing a good job again... Let's also hope for safety and success by our super rescue workers...
 

sigh. it's a terrible disaster.....
