Two people are missing following a cave-in at a construction
site of the planned No. 2 subway line in Nanjing, capital of east
China's Jiangsu Province.
The accident occurred at about 8:00 AM on Monday when 13 workers
were consolidating the foundations of a subway station which had
been loosened after heavy rain last week.
Five hundred cubic meters of mud poured into the area where the
construction workers were carrying out repairs, burying two
people.
A rescue team is trying to locate them and safety inspections
are underway in other subway construction sites in the city.
In March, a cave-in along a subway line being built for the 2008
Beijing Olympics killed six construction workers.
