Of course, it's China where no gives two fucks, stand around the guy and talk about what's on TV tonight. A terrible country, you couldn't pay me to go there.

For some reason, a bunch of people were gathered around a forklift (that has a single "fork"?). Two guys were standing near a wall on the side. The forklift tries to lift a vertical object but it seems to have done so at the wrong angle, causing it to fall to its side and quickly smash the two guys near the wall. One of the men is seen on the ground heavily bleeding from his head, with what seems to be broken bits of his skull in the pool of blood. It's unclear what happened to the other man who was also hit in the head.

Don't stand near industrial vehicles, especially when they're moving stuff around!

that has a single "fork"?

Forklifts can have their forks manually moved closer or farther apart along the mast cage, or just completely taken off. Operator should've had the forks moved as close as possible in this case, though it still may not have prevented the object from snapping loose only on the one side.

The object seems to be attached to the ground somehow and the forklift was being used to pry it off. It only detached on one side, causing it to suddenly and violently "snap" to the other side, where the men were standing. It didn't just "fall".
