They were killed when concrete slabs, used to balance the crane, fell on them.

Firefighters battled to rescue a fifth person stuck on the crane itself.

Since the beginning of the year, 57 construction workers have been killed in accidents. The main cause of the accidents is the disregard of safety guidelines and the lack of their enforcement.
