South Korea's rescuers blast towers in urgent bid to reach trapped workers

00:21

In a dramatic rescue operation in Ulsan, South Korea's emergency crews detonated explosives to demolish two 60-meter-tall towers adjacent to a collapsed power plant. The controlled demolition was necessary to safely access four workers still missing or presumed dead after an industrial accident five days ago. Unstable rubble had previously prevented heavy machinery from approaching the site, severely hampering rescue efforts.
