At least five workers died Sunday in a fall down an elevator shaft of a skyscraper under construction in Hong Kong, police said. One other was injured, the Associated Press reported. The accident happened at the International Commerce Center in the Kowloon district, which will be 118 stories high when completed next year, making it one of the tallest buildings in world, as well as the tallest in Hong Kong. Speaking at the scene, Hong Kong leader Donald Tsang said the men fell after a working platform collapsed in the elevator shaft. Five male workers died, including two declared dead at the scene, said police spokeswoman Anne Lam. One other worker was believed to be receiving treatment at the site.
