At around 2 p.m., a group of six male workers were cleaning and maintaining equipment inside the furnace at the Song Lam 2 Cement Joint Stock Company factory in Hamlet 6, Hoi Son Commune, Anh Son District.

During the work, pieces of cement stuck to the top of the furnace fell and crushed three workers. They were determined to have died of suffocation. The others were lucky to escape.

That same evening, authorities were handling the amount of material that had collapsed from the top of the mine to get the victims out.

The three workers who were injured lived in Phuc Son and Hoa Son communes, Anh Son district.

Authorities determined that the incident occurred due to a technical error during furnace maintenance.
