13 people have been detained by chinese police today after the deadly suspended scaffold collapse that has now killed 10 workmen.

We previously reported that 7 workmen were killed when the scaffolding structure on a tower block in Xi’an NW China collapsed and crashed to the ground from the 23rd floor (63 meters) of the tower block.

Eyewitness at the scene said they saw the chains supporting the suspended scaffold snap.

A government spokesperson said: “An internal investigation shows that workers had violated working regulations before lowering the scaffolding.”

The Xi’an government has ordered a crack down on illegal operations and eliminate safety problems on construction sites within the city.
