TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A bundle of steel rebar fell on a street in the capital early Sunday morning (March 7) during the construction of the Taipei Dome, forcing the city government to suspend the project and launch an investigation.
In a video shared by Taipei City Councilor Hsu Chiao-hsin (徐巧芯) on Wednesday (March 10), a crane at the Taipei Dome construction site can be seen carrying a heavy load of rebar at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday before dropping it onto Guangfu South Road. Fortunately, no vehicles were passing through the usually congested artery at the time.
