Victim IDs released in coal slide at Pueblo power plant
The lads labored for Utah-based Savage, a contractor for Xcel Vitality that operates the plant’s coal yard. Witnesses reported that the accident occurred on a feeder pile for the station’s coal-fired energy plant, which is Colorado’s largest.
Rescuers discovered the our bodies of the 2 males buried beneath about 60 ft of coal after a day-long search. The lads had been standing about 30 ft up a slope of the pile when the slide occurred, in line with the Pueblo Fireplace Division.
Xcel is working with Savage, native and federal authorities to find out the reason for the accident.
