28 blamed for elevator accident

China Daily | Updated: 2013-04-08 07:59

Twenty-eight people are being held responsible for an accident with an elevator that killed 19 painters at a construction site in Wuhan, Hubei province, last year.

The painters were going up in the elevator outside a residential building under construction in the Donghujingyuan development on Sept 13 when it plunged 100 meters to the ground.

A provincial investigation found that two of the four bolts that held the elevator in place were missing, and because it was overloaded with 19 adults and 250 kg of cargo, the final two bolts broke, causing the fall, Wuhan-based Chutian Metropolis Daily reported on April 7.
