10 weeks those lads from Rotherham have been under there and still no where near retrieving the bodies. ....it's disgusting.

When an earthquake happens somewhere in the world we send specialist teams out to help but something over here and 10 weeks on the northern blokes are still under all that.

Things like this really make my wee warm. ..sorry rant over

I totally agree with you, with all the specialists  we are supposed to have in this field it should have been sorted weeks ago

I get what you're saying guys but it isn't a rescue operation like the earthquake example you give.  That pile of tangled steel and concrete is vast and treacherous, no point at all in risking anybody else's life to speed up the 'rescue'.

For me, they're doing exactly what they should.

There'll also be a lot of asbestos in that building, I've seen first hand the pain and suffering asbestos exposure can cause, as much as it can be distressing to the mens relatives, it's better to try and do things properly and not put anyone else at risk

I've been past the place a few times. Looks a reight chuffing mess tbh.

If it's that bad they may be as well just turning it into AA grassy hill and putting a memorial on top for the families,Where these guys working inside the piping extracting asbestos by the way, I know there are a few Sheffield area companies that do that sort of thing?

[Donnywolf]

Anything happened yet ? Seems to have dropped off the radar?

NPower have got more than enough problems, big nasty serious problems, of their own without this one on top too....

It is difficult to sanction the recovery of bodies if it puts lives at risk in doing so.

I went past the place today on the train. Actually, I went past the front of it on one train and then the back of it on another on the way to Oxford. It's stood there like a socking great lump of trouble. Half a building, some scaffolding and not much happening that I could see.  It doesn't look like the sort of place you'd want to go have a wander around.

I see the army are being brought in to assist the recovery, lets hope they can recover them, unlike the six miners in the Lofthouse Colliery disaster in the 70's, whose bodies were never recovered
