Search for Didcot power station dead to restart

Recovery efforts for the bodies of three men killed in the Didcot power station collapse will continue on Sunday.

The bid to finally reach the victims is set to recommence as the remainder of the building is demolished.

Demolition workers Ken Cresswell, 57, John Shaw, 61, and Chris Huxtable, 34, all died after becoming trapped under 20,000 tonnes of rubble when the structure unexpectedly crumbled on 23rd February.

A fourth man who died, Michael Collings, 53, was recovered from the wreckage.

On Sunday, a remote demolition using 10 remote-controlled robots will bring down the remainder of the decommissioned site shortly before 6am.

Currently the building - which was due for demolition when it partially collapsed - is too unstable to be approached and a 50-metre exclusion zone was set up around what is left of the building.

Once the 11 plastic explosives attached to the structure are detonated and the site is considered safe, teams will be deployed to resume searching the remnants of the plant for the first time since May
