Several workers fell from scaffolding at a construction site in Hamburg’s Hafencity. Five died, says a fire department spokesman for the German Press Agency. The scaffolding may have collapsed. The accident occurred at a construction site for the Überseequartier. There are 60 rescue workers on duty. The media had previously reported on the accident.
The Überseequartier is one of the largest construction sites in Hamburg. A shopping arcade, restaurants, offices and hotels will be built there. As the Picture-newspaper writes, the large construction site is currently being evacuated.
