Two die while servicing aircraft

SINGAPORE (AP): A maintenance platform elevated 8.5 meters
toppled at Singapore's Changi Airport, killing two Singapore
Airlines staff and leaving another in a critical condition, the
airline said on Wednesday.

Edwin Dewanto, 29, of Indonesia, and Lau Fook Soon, 44, of
Singapore, were killed on Monday when their platform toppled and
trapped them underneath, an SIA spokesman said on customary
condition of anonymity. They were repairing a 747 Megatop.

Ivan Chan Chee Chung, 23, of Singapore, is in intensive care.

The airline is investigating the accident and has ordered
inspections of all similar equipment.
