A large scaffolding structure at the construction site of the Kai Tak Sports Park collapsed on Tuesday morning. No one was injured.  

The scaffolding collapse happened at about 9.30am this morning, where a 20-by-20-meter scaffolding bent and fell, landing on the ground at the site.  

Firefighters, along with the Fire Services Department’s Urban Search and Rescue Team, responded to the scene. An investigation is ongoing, and the cause of the collapse remains unclear.  

The Kai Tak Sports Park is a multisport development on the site of the old airport at Kai Tak in Hong Kong, which covers around 28 hectares of land.  

The project introduced in 2007 will have a 50,000-seat main stadium with a retractable roof, an indoor sports center with 10,000 seats, and a public sports ground with 5,000 seats.  

The groundbreaking was held on April 23, 2019, and the HK$30 billion park is scheduled to be finished by June 2023.
