Second worker recovered from Ohio job site

USA-based demolition contractor the Adamo Group has issued a statement confirming that worker Jamie Fitzgerald has been recovered and removed from the Killen Generating Station site in Ohio.

The site was the scene of a building collapse last month in which Mr Fitzgerald and his colleague Clyde Douglas (Doug) Gray died. A further three people were hospitalised.

This is a difficult time and we continue to express our deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers to Jamie’s fiancée, children, family and friends.
