Five building labourers have been killed and 12 injured in an accident at a construction site at Dubai airport. A reinforcement cage that was holding up a new wall that was being built collapsed, bringing down the wall and trapping workers under it.
The accident happened during the building of a new third terminal, civil aviation authorities said.
The airport - one of the world's busiest and fastest-growing - is being expanded at a cost of $4.1bn.
"The wall fell down, and we all ran to help, but there wasn't anything we could do,"one worker, Daljinder Singh, told the Associated Press news agency. The injured workers were taken to two hospitals.
