Searches Into The Night After Deadly Blast on Jersey UK
Emergency workers are searching through the night after an explosion at a block of flats in Jersey left three people dead and a dozen missing. BBC News 11 DEC 2022. ![]() ![]() Specialist teams and a search dog are on the scene, following the collapse in St Helier on Saturday morning. The Jersey government says a "meticulous" multi-agency search effort is being co-ordinated. Island police chief officer Robin Smith described the scene at Pier Road as "complete devastation". A video, tweeted by the island's government, shows piles of rubble and a crushed car behind the police cordon. Chief Minister Kristina Moore described it as an "unimaginable tragedy". The Jersey government said the search effort involved a "number of stages, including vacating the site for short periods to allow dogs to enter, and the careful movement of debris". Chief fire officer Paul Brown earlier told a press conference: "The plan is we will continue searching. Teams will be working all night and they will not stop." He added: "The primary challenge is the fact that we have a dangerous structure that has collapsed. "Anything that we do, or do in the wrong way, may then jeopardise the chance of survival of anyone who might be rescued." Site of Explosion ![]()
