Watch: Taiwán Water Pipe Death Video – What Happened To 51-Year-Old Zeng? Everything To Know

Update

When the tragedy happened at approximately 11:30 a.m., a 50-year-old man named Zeng perished while working on a Taiwan Water Corporation pipeline replacement project in Tanzi District.

Someone who was standing above the trench captured the incident on camera. As shown in the video, as the hole opened, air pressure sucked a guy into the pipe when the hole opened, and he died.

This happened in Taiwan a few days ago. The workers were cutting into a main water pipe that hadn't been property shut down and vented. Sadly he did not survive. pic.twitter.com/WL1PqMDQQ9

Zeng used a chunk of the hammer to smash off a 60 x 40-centimeter square piece that had been cut by a coworker from above the steel pipe.

The steel plate ultimately broke away, causing Zeng to lose his balance and fall forward. Zeng stopped himself briefly, but the issue was that the power of the suction, which was caused by the vacuum in the pipe, pulled him feet-first down the pipe.

When paramedics arrived to take Zeng to the hospital, he was reported dead, according to several sources.

People are afraid to see the video because of the graphic material.

Furthermore, the footage of Zeng was re-examined after news of another construction worker’s accident broke.

A construction train struck and killed him on Wednesday at the future site of Metro’s Purple Line Extension Project’s Wilshire/La Brea Station.
