An officer says the crane collapsed midday Thursday while it was being dismantled by workers. He says another worker was seriously injured. The collapse is under investigation. A worker at the site says the crane fell after its work was completed on the 14th floor. He says two Chinese engineers are among the victims. The project to build a student hostel is being supervised by a Chinese construction firm.
