이번 사고는 터키 탄광 폭발사고로 301명의 광부가 사망한 지 4개월만에 발생했다.

현지 언론은 사고 보름 전에도 승강기가 고장나 수리 대기 중이었다고 말하고 있다.

 

터키는 연이은 사고에 대한 정부의 늦장 대처와 부패 그리고 안전기준의 미흡 등이 사회전반에 큰 쟁점화되고 있다. 

 

An elevator fell 32 storeys at a construction site in Istanbul, killing 10 people.

 

The Associated Press
ISTANBUL, Turkey -- An elevator plunged 32 stories at a construction site in Istanbul, killing ten people.

 

Istanbul's governor, Huseyin Avni Mutlu, said eight people were detained and that an investigation has been launched into the incident that occurred on Saturday.

 

The eight people were later released after questioning by authorities.

Mutlu said: "The laws are clear . if anyone is not abiding by these laws, they will be held accountable."

 

Labour unions were organizing a demonstration in Istanbul Sunday to protest problems with worker safety in the country.

 

The workplace accident comes four months after 301 miners were killed following an explosion and a fire at a coal mine in western Turkey.

 

Turkey's worst mining disaster set off protests against what was perceived as official laxity and corruption and raised questions over the implementation of safety standards.
