A video showing a column of white smoke rising above a tower crane on a construction site in Chai Wan has raised concerns whether the crane is at risk of collapse. A worker could also be heard shouting in the video voicing a concern that the crane might collapse. Poon said the footage was filmed on Monday (Nov 6) at the construction site of Water Supplies Department Headquarters with Hong Kong and Islands Regional Office and Correctional Services Department Headquarters Building in Chai Wan. It was learned that Aggressive Construction Company Limited is the site's contractor, and the company has been involved in several fatal industrial accidents recently. Regarding the incident, the Architectural Services Department said it had promptly demanded the principal contractor undertake a detailed inspection of the concerned crane and provide an investigation report.
