Two oilsands workers killed in roof collapse

April 25th, 2007 · No Comments

This sounds like a throwback to the days of building transcontinental railways in North America, when Chinese labour was considered cheap and expendable.

Two workers at an oilsands project north of Fort McMurray were killed and four others injured when the roof of a massive storage tank collapsed on Tuesday, Alberta RCMP said.

The two killed are thought to be temporary labourers from China. The injuries of the other workers are not believed to be critical.
