According to police, the first accident happened at 10 pm, July 21, with two workers aged 43 and 22. They died immediately after falling from the 13th floor.
The second accident was recorded at 4 pm, July 22, with one death and one injured. The names of the victims and the reason for the accident have not been released.
The Hanoi Landmark Tower project, invested in by South Korean group Keangnam, was launched in 2007, at a cost of $1 billion, the biggest project in Hanoi at that time.
This project comprises a twin tower of 48-storeys, totalling 918 apartments and a 70-storey building.
In late 2008, as many people were doubtful about the feasibility of the completion of this project, the investor Keangnam affirmed it would finish the construction in October 2010.
According to Keangnam, Hanoi Landmark Tower will be the highest building in Vietnam and the 17th-highest in the world.
The Hanoi Construction Department’s chief Bui Van Chien said that it is serious to have two occupational accidents occur at the same place within a few days.
The department’s experts inspected the construction site today, July 23.
