00:00Emergency services were called here to Boundary Street in West End just after 8.30 this morning.
00:08At the job site you can see behind me a retaining wall had collapsed on two men.
00:13A 45 year old man tragically died at the scene.
00:17A 19 year old man was rushed to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
00:23But that was not after remaining stuck under the rubble of that retaining wall for more than an hour.
00:29Five fire and emergency crews were called in to help extricate that young man.
00:34There was a total of eight workers on site at the time.
00:39The police and six of those workers had to remove concrete from the surviving male
00:45and in doing that they probably saved his life.
00:48He was then left in situ due to the complexity of the entrapment for the fire service to extract him.
00:55It's a tragic thing to have happened so close to Christmas.
00:59It's believed that the two victims are known to each other and are related which makes it even more tragic at this time of the year.
01:08We've been told that Queensland Police will prepare a report for the coroner with workplace health and safety also investigating.
01:15Now this part of Brisbane especially at midday on a weekday is an incredibly busy part of town.
01:21So certainly a confronting scene for both these workers involved but also emergency crews here today.
