The worker identified as Zeng, 51, could not survive.
The horrific incident occurred around 11:30 a.m. On November 30, 2021.
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 eventually broke, causing Zeng to lose his balance and fell forward. He caught himself briefly, but the suction force created by the pipe’s vacuum pulled him into the pipe.
When paramedics arrived to take him to the hospital, he was reported dead, according to sources.

Netizens are still looking up for the news, due to the recent, death of another construction worker.
A construction train struck and killed a worker on the future site of the Wilshire/La Brea Station on Metro’s Purple Line Extension Project on Wednesday, CBS News reports.
He died tragically before help even arrived.
The same thing happened to the Taiwan construction worker who was sucked into a pipe.
