Terrible way to go. Good on the Filipino, unnamed worker for giving his life in trying to help a colleague. Hedeserves a posthumous award. RIP to both, and I hope their families are compensated.

Why is the Filipino not named? It sounds like the guy is a hero.

He has been named as セジャス・レヤス in other reports, including the one I saw on the news last night.

Sad for such a needless loss of life.
I don't know the facts but I did see the site on tv news.
It appears the most basic rule of trenching was ignored.
All trench walls must be shored up,underpinned or braced.
I couldn't see evidence of any such support system but I could be mistaken.
Sliding, toppling or subsiding of soil into the excavation is the deadly endresult of inadequate preparations.
Who is responsible? Don't know, but it looked like an accident waiting to happen with tragic results.
