The labourers were building concrete blocks as part of a seawall project when the accident took place late Wednesday in the coastal province of Ha Tinh, said Le Minh Dao, office manager of the provincial People’s Committee.
“We have pulled out 12 bodies. Two other bodies will soon be rescued from the rubble,” Dao said.
He added that around 700 people were mobilised overnight to help rescue workers at the site, where at least 28 people were injured.
