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.
