Misfortune in Mosel Town - Minister on hotel collapse: emotional situation for forces
The rescue operation following the collapse of a hotel in Kröv on the Mosel is, according to Rhineland-Palatinate's Interior Minister Michael Ebling (SPD), an "exceptionally challenging deployment". "For a building to collapse in this manner is undoubtedly a very unusual event," Ebling said. He thanked the forces for their highly professional response.
"It's also a very emotional situation for the rescue teams, as it naturally feels like a race against time," he said. However, it is still necessary for the rescue teams to ensure their own safety. This has been a priority from the start.
The rescue operation has been particularly demanding due to the collapse, and the emotional toll on the rescue teams is significant. Their primary focus, despite the urgency, remains ensuring their own safety throughout the operation.
