At least 40 people were killed in China after a platform in an unfinished power plant cooling tower collapsed, the latest industrial accident in a country plagued by chronic workplace tragedies.
An unknown number of workers remain trapped hours after the platform collapsed at 7am local time in the eastern province of Jiangxi, the official Xinhua news agency reported.

Now they want to build the infrastructure of Dominica.
It is sad this occurred.
This week a train derailed in India, killing approximately 60 people. This is not the first time such occurred.
The US, Canada and Europe are not exempt from incidents, be it in a different manner.
Roofs/stages collapsed while patrons were being entertained, killing and injuring some..
There are also single incidents while a worker is on the job.
Last week an elevator crushed a man in downtown Toronto. He died.
Some years ago, a D/can man at his work died in hot oil.
Worldwide, disasters strike. If it is not one it is the other, be it hurricanes, earthquakes, cyclones, tornadoes, etc.
We must be sympathetic when disasters strike. The victims, injured or died have relatives who are in grief. .
As sad as it is, from time to time this occurs. We know not when a disaster will strike.
My sympathy to the People’s Republic of China and family of the deceased.
May the injured be healed.
For those who died, may God have mercy on their souls.
This is so very sad to hear. My Sympathy to the family of all the victims; workplace accidents, where death occurs with so many people, is a huge loss for any country. You do not have to know the people to feel their pain, much less a Country and people who has been so good to us; we mourn with them.
Earlier this week another workplace tragedy, a school bus in the U.S. where 6 young children were killed and another 5 is in critical condition and several others injured; I believe every one of the children on the bus are either dead or injured. How does a community deal with that?
Just recently there was a workplace tragedy in Dominica when the bus fill with passengers crashed resulting with one death and several injured, All these are workplace place accidents and disasters.
We pray for all the victims and their families wherever these accidents happen on plane, train, or automobile, scaffolding or any other workplace tragedy. May their souls R.I.P.
Sadly these are the people that are building bridges, roads and even our new hospital. There are so many disasters happening in China every day and our government trusting our lives with these people. just look att all the things they have built, a little shower of rain and there it goes, something is not right in Dominica.
Lord, please bless and keep your servants who perished in this tragedy, and grant wisdom to decision makers in China so they might in the future make better decisions for the welfare of their countrymen.
These are de people who wants to take on America. Let em come! America ill wipe dem out together with Russia, Iran, India and all dem “wanna be” world powers. Dem can hardly bil a scaffold to support chicken.
DNO are you trying to send a message?
Yes, DNO is sending a message, but sadly, the message is too late. The Chinese have us by the n*ts thanks to our Knight of the Order
