(Fengcheng) — The construction site in Jiangxi province where scaffolding collapsed in late November, killing 74, was covered in red confetti from firecrackers that had been lit by survivors to mourn the worst industrial accidents in China this year.

Four workers burned fake money in memory of their dead colleagues, three days after a construction platform attached to a cooling tower at a power plant in Fengcheng collapsed on Nov. 24.
