Families of three missing men watched nervously as the remains of a 10-storey boiler house were blown up just after 6am this morning. The building, already half-collapsed during demolition preparations on February 23, still holds their loved ones beneath its rubble.
Relentless Search Continues for Missing Workers
Ken Cresswell’s wife, Gail, vowed: “This isn’t no resting place for my husband. Until he’s found and brought home, I won’t let this go.” This morning, search teams moved in moments after the controlled demolition to continue the desperate hunt for the missing men trapped under the wreckage at 1 Power Station.
Trapped Demolition Workers Still Missing
- Ken Cresswell, 57
- John [Surname Unknown], 61
- Chris Huxtable, 34
The trio were caught beneath the collapsed building when it gave way during demolition work on February 23. A fourth man, 53-year-old Michael Collings, was tragically found dead near the site entrance. He is believed to have exited his digger to warn others, but sadly never made it to safety. The digger itself remained undamaged.
Families Campaign for Closure
The loved ones of the three missing men have been tirelessly campaigning for months to have their relatives recovered. Today’s blowdown demolition was a crucial step in exposing the site and hopefully bringing answers—and their men—home.
