Italian emergency services battled to rescue a Romanian worker trapped for hours under rubble following the partial collapse of a medieval tower in central Rome, near the Colosseum.
“We are trying to get him out alive but the situation is complex because of the risk of further collapses,” national fire department spokesman Luca Cari told Reuters.
Parts of the 95-foot-tall Torre dei Conti crashed to the ground on at least two occasions. The trapped worker survived the second collapse, but operations to get him out “will be very long and difficult because of the very high risk of (more) collapses,” Rome police chief Lamberto Giannini told reporters.
