Two workers have died after an 11-story building collapsed in Kentucky earlier this week, trapping the men under concrete and steel and triggering a days-long rescue effort. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced Friday afternoon that both workers who were trapped in a Martin County coal preparation plant had died. Two men were working inside the Martin Mine Prep Plant when it collapsed around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to a news release from Kentucky Emergency Management. “I am sad to report that the second worker trapped inside the collapsed coal preparation plant in Martin County has died,” Gov. Martin County is located along the state line near West Virginia, about 150 miles southeast of Lexington.
