(Quebec) More than 24 hours after the collapse of a multi-storey scaffolding in a Domtar paper mill in Estrie, rescue teams continue to search for two workers trapped in the debris.
The Sûreté du Québec, which is supporting the rescue operation, says rescuers have still not contacted the two workers, but that it is still a rescue operation.
The incident occurred shortly after 1:30 a.m. Tuesday at the plant in Windsor, about 150 kilometers east of Montreal.
On Tuesday afternoon, stationery manager Sylvain Bricault said the rescue operation was complicated by the amount of debris from the scaffolding, which was as high as the stationery.
Another worker who was injured in the collapse was taken to hospital and his life would not be in danger.
The workers are employed by a subcontractor who performs important work at the plant.
