SEOUL, December 12 (AJP) - Rescue workers have been searching for missing workers on Friday after a steel structure collapsed at a construction site in the southwestern city of Gwangju the previous day.
The collapse occurred at the site for a library, leaving four workers trapped under the debris. Two of them were found dead and two others remain missing.
Authorities believe the collapse started while concrete was being poured on the second-floor roof, burying the workers under debris.
They plan to investigate the exact cause of the accident after completing rescue operations, looking into whether any flaws were involved in attempts to shorten the construction period.
