Two people were killed and five others are in an unknown condition after a 60-meter tower collapsed during demolition work at a decommissioned thermal power plant in the South Korean city of Ulsan. Rescue workers pulled two people to safety shortly after responding to the tower collapse Thursday afternoon. An official with Ulsan's fire department, Kim Jeong-shik, said another worker was rescued but later was pronounced dead at a hospital. Crews have also located another worker believed to be dead. Kim said the search for the remaining five people was suspended Friday morning due to concerns over unstable rubble and will resume after stabilization work. Over 340 rescue workers and around 90 vehicles and equipment had been deployed to the site for search and rescue efforts.
