The Suzhou Street section of Beijing's No. 10 subway line, which is currently under construction, collapsed on March 28, but local media report that the foreman of the construction team tried to conceal the accident.
Zhang Jiannong, a spokesperson from the Beijing Municipal Construction Commission, says that the Suzhou Street Station of the No. 10 line collapsed at around 9:30AM on March 28, but it was not reported to the government until 4:39PM in the afternoon of that day.

Six male construction workers were buried underground. Five of them are from Sichuan Province and one from Henan Province. The government has arranged the relatives of the six dead workers to come to Beijing.
