CATONSVILLE, Md. (AP) — Two construction workers were killed
Friday when a trench collapsed as they were working on
renovations at a home in Maryland, fire officials said.
The workers were trapped when a retaining wall failed inside the
trench late in the morning in the Baltimore suburb of
Catonsville, and a rescue attempt soon began, said Lt. Twana
Allen of the Baltimore County Fire Department.
Rescuers first had to shore up the trench and remove debris, and
the workers' bodies were recovered in the evening, fire
officials said. The victims were not immediately identified.
The cause of the collapse was under investigation, Allen said.
