- Two individuals meet their demise in the Austrian workforce.
In the crumble of a cellar vault of a dwelling in the small Austrian town of Schärding, two construction laborers met their demise. Following numerous hours of exploration, a medical responder could merely acknowledge the demise of the two entombed men, indicated press officer Markus Oppitz to the Austrian news agency APA. The cellar vault of the house situated in the Austrian town close to Bavaria's border succumbed to collapse on Tuesday morning during construction tasks.
One man managed to break free, however, the other two workers were pinned under debris. The retrieval of their bodies is anticipated to extend until Wednesday morning. No additional people got harmed.
