Two operators were killed when a tower crane collapsed on Tuesday at a power plant in Shanghai, local work safety officials said.

The accident took place at 3:50 p.m. in the Shidongkou power plant, one of three key electricity bases for the financial hub, when the crane was being checked upon delivery.

On Monday, a bridge crane collapsed at a Shanghai dock and crashed down on two freighters below, seriously injuring the crane operator and causing damage to the vessels.

The work safety bureau of Baoshan District of Shanghai is investigating into the cause of Tuesday's accident.
