Eight people have been killed after the lift they were in plunged 18 floors to the ground on a construction site in China.
The Longkou city government in Shandong province announced the news on its official microblog page.
It said that all of the victims were taken to hospital but none survived.
Despite improvements in recent years, work safety remains a problem in China, where regulations are routinely ignored and cost-cutting by management often leads to accidents.
In March, a 43-year-old woman died after being trapped for a month in a lift in a residential building in Xian after it was shut down without warning by maintenance workers.
In September last year 20-year-old Robin Llyr Evans from Wales was killed after falling into a lift shaft while working at a tennis centre in Wuhan.
