Most of the victims were born after 1980, with the youngest being 23 years old, and the oldest 53. The death toll from an under construction platform collapse at a power plant in east China's Jiangxi province rose to 74, state-media reported on Friday. These people were working at the site at 7:00 am (local time) when the platform collapsed at the Fengcheng Power Plant in the city of Yichun, the report said. Images from state broadcaster CCTV showed a pile of twisted metal and dozens of rescue workers searching for victims under the rubble. The plant is owned by Jiangxi Ganneng Co Ltd., a state-owned power corporation listed in Shenzhen.
