THREE workers were killed when a 72-tonne crane toppled at a construction site near the National University of Singapore's Arts Faculty canteen in Kent Ridge Drive, crushing and pinning two of them underneath.
Two other workers escaped with minor injuries and were sent to the nearby National University Hospital.
The incident happened at about 2.10 pm on Friday, watched by dozens of shocked NUS students who were having lunch in the canteen.
The falling crane narrowly missed the nearby NUS Business School, and hit some trees just behind a bus-stop where some students were waiting.
Eyewitnesses said the 60-metre crane fell onto the three workers, pinning two of them beneath, on the site where a new five-storey club house for NUS alumnus is being built.
The site is the size of two football fields.
OMG
