Thursday, officials said the rescue effort at the site of a Martin County coal tippler that collapsed on two construction workers Tuesday and killed one of them had moved into a new phase. A few hours after Lexington firefighters who’d spent a day there returned, officials held a news conference. Martin County Judge-Executive Lon Lafferty spoke to the media, including WYMT-TV, which provided this audio.
“They've decided to change to a different phase of the rescue, to where we actually move into removing layers of the of the rubble, to try to see if we can find that the missing worker, we haven't given up hope.”
