Tragic Discovery: Two More Bodies Found in Italy Hydroelectric Plant Explosion

On Tuesday, a tragic explosion occurred at the Enel Green Power plant near Bologna, Italy, claiming the lives of five workers. The explosion, which took place at a depth of approximately 40 meters below water level, resulted in a fire and subsequent flooding of several levels of the plant.

Recovery Efforts

Following the incident, divers have been tirelessly working to retrieve the victims. Unfortunately, two more bodies were discovered, bringing the total number of confirmed casualties to five. The search for the remaining two missing workers is still ongoing.

Uncovering the Cause

The explosion, which occurred during maintenance work, caused a turbine on the eighth floor to explode, leading to the subsequent fire and flooding of the floor below. The exact cause of the explosion is yet to be determined, leaving many questions unanswered.

Divers involved in the recovery efforts have described the underwater environment as akin to an earthquake-damaged building, highlighting the challenging and harrowing conditions they have faced.
