power plant construction site that killed 74 workers
Beijing - Arab Today
Chinese authorities detained 13 people over the collapse of scaffolding at a power plant construction site that killed 74 workers.
Most of the dead had been working on the interior concrete wall of a massive circular cooling tower 70 meters (230 feet) up when the scaffolding collapsed Thursday morning, resulting in one of China's most serious industrial accidents in years.
In a statement issued Saturday, the committee of the State Council said:" early findings suggested that a shortened time frame for the power plant project, hasty construction and mismanagement played a role in the disaster," without giving details.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.
