At least 36 people died when a crane collapsed at a shipbuilding plant in Shanghai early today.
The accident happened at 7:55 a.m. (23:55 yesterday Irish time) when the 600-tonne gantry crane collapsed over dozens of workers at the plant, which is operated by Hudong Shipbuilding Group.
Three injured workers are being treated in hospital.
Local residents said they heard a huge crash and felt the earth shake under them at the time of the accident, leading many to believe they were experiencing a minor quake.
