Two houses are being urgently demolished following a construction site foundation excavation accident in Bac Ninh.

On the morning of June 4th, authorities, in coordination with local residents, urgently dismantled two houses severely damaged after an accident during foundation excavation for a construction project on Thanh Thien Street, Dan Chu residential area, Bac Giang ward, Bac Ninh province.

At the scene, excavators, along with dozens of police officers, militia members, and local residents, dismantled the structures and tried to move the remaining belongings of the residents out of the area.

Authorities are dismantling two houses that were leaning and sinking on Thanh Thien Street.

Still reeling from the incident, Mr. Ngo Chi Dat (the owner of the affected house) shared that his family had just spent a large sum of money repairing and renovating their house and business. However, disaster struck when the neighboring family started digging the foundation for their construction project.

"Around 8 a.m. on June 3rd, as the store was preparing to open, the building suddenly tilted and collapsed. In just a few minutes, cracks widened, the foundation subsided, and the building tilted completely towards the adjacent foundation pit. Everyone only had time to shout to each other to escape, but many valuable goods and assets were still trapped inside," Mr. Dat recounted.

According to Mr. Dat, immediately after the incident, the construction owner accepted responsibility and agreed on a compensation plan to help his family rebuild the house to its original condition. Fortunately, the incident did not cause any casualties.

Initial assessments indicate that approximately 10 neighboring households are also at risk of being affected by the incident.

Mr. Tran Van Thanh, Chairman of the People's Committee of Bac Giang Ward, said that as soon as they received the information, the local authorities activated an emergency response and ordered the immediate demolition of the two houses to avoid causing a chain reaction of danger.

Dozens of police officers, militia members, and representatives from various organizations immediately arrived at the scene. Authorities simultaneously cordoned off the area with tape, assisted residents in evacuating their belongings, and urgently demolished structures at risk of collapse to ensure the absolute safety of the surrounding residential area.
