Elevator shaft fall kills six

A CONSTRUCTION platform inside an elevator shaft collapsed yesterday, sending six workers falling about 20 storeys to their deaths inside a Hong Kong skyscraper.

The accident occurred at the International Commerce Centre, which will be 118 stories high when completed next year, making it one of the world’s tallest buildings and the highest in Hong Kong.

The workers are believed to have fallen from around the 30th to the 10th floor.
