Shipyard accident kills one
Kuala Lumpur: A burst launching airbag yesterday killed one worker and injured another yesterday morning at a yard in Malaysia. The accident happened at a yard in Kuala Baram, killing a Bangladeshi and injuring another Bangladeshi.
A co-worker told local media how they had just finished inflating the inflatable ship launching airbag. “I walked away from it while the two of them remained. Less than a minute later I heard it burst and saw Rasidul pushed to the ground,’ he said. [21/08/14]
