Two workers from Waltham-based NASDI injured in accident.
Fire officials blamed the wind on the collapse of a wall that trapped two contractors during the demolition of a power plant Thursday afternoon.
The men, employees of the demolition company NASDI of Waltham, were attempting to secure a cable from an elevated basket some nine metres (30 feet) above the ground when a corrugated steel wall at the old TMLP West Water Street generating station folded in on them, said Taunton Deputy Fire Chief Mike Sylvia.
Taunton firefighters used a ladder track to pull the men from their basket, which was pinned next to a brick wall six metres (20 feet) in the air.
One of the men was taken to Morton Hospital and Medical Center with facial lacerations and a suspected broken arm. The second man declined medical treatment.
