Didcot worker John Cosgrove recalls building collapse

A Didcot Power Station worker has told how he escaped the partial collapse of its boiler house which killed four colleagues because he was on a break.

The body of Michael Collings, 53, was recovered but Ken Cresswell, 57, John Shaw, 61, and Chris Huxtable, 34, were trapped when it came down on 23 February.

Their bodies were not found until earlier this month.

John Cosgrove, 65, of Rhoose, Vale of Glamorgan, was 98ft (30m) away when the incident happened and explains what the collapse was like.
