Exclusive – AED accident aftermath…

Photos show how close last week’s accident came to disaster.

Following preliminary reports on an accident involving the Advanced Explosive Demolition (AED) contract at the ConAgra facility last week, we have today received some photos that show just how close the accident came to being a tragedy.

According to the source of the photos – who has chosen to remain anonymous – the boom of the excavator pictured took the full impact of the falling debris, a fact highlighted by the severe damage to the hydraulic ram.

We are trying to contact AED for further information and comment:
