At least three workers have died after the standing structure fell down at a construction site in the German city of Hamburg, as confirmed by the firefighting officials.
Many more people were hurt, and it is believed that there are still people trapped under the scaffolding.
The incident occurred on Monday morning at a big construction site called Uberseequartier in the HafenCity district.
The workers were probably constructing an elevator tunnel at that moment.
The Hamburg fire department first said that five men died, but now they have changed that number to be lower.
According to news in Germany, many emergency workers are at the location to search for people trapped under the rubble. The area has been cleared of people.
Many people are working at a construction site. The site is being developed and will have offices, houses, hotels, and shops.
