Search for Didcot power station dead to restart after demolition

The search for the bodies of three men killed in the Didcot power station collapse can now resume after the building was demolished.

The building, in Oxfordshire, was considered too unstable to be approached and a 50-metre exclusion zone was set up around it.

A remote demolition brought down the building at 6am using robots.

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.
