Two men from Rotherham have been identified as missing after the collapse of a power station being prepared for demolition.
Two men from Rotherham have been identified as missing after the collapse of a power station being prepared for demolition.
One worker was killed and three are still missing after the incident last month at Didcot in Oxfordshire.
In a statement, Thames Valley Police say the families of Ken Cresswell, 57, and John Shaw, 61, have confirmed their loved ones are missing.
Both families says Ken and John are 'loved very much', and they haven’t given up hope of them being recovered and returned home.
Police today met today with the families of the three missing people, as part of the ongoing support being given.
"Our priority remains the recovery of their loved ones so they can be returned to their families and to understand what caused this incident,'' said a statement.
Mike Collings, 53, was killed when the structure folded nearly two weeks ago.
Emergency services have since said it is "highly unlikely'' the missing people are still alive, and last week stated the recovery operation could take months.
The third demolition worker buried and left unaccounted for has been named by his family as Chris Huxtable.
His partner Jade Ali has launched a petition in a bid to find the missing men.
Ms Ali, from Swansea, posted: "We need them home. Minutes are turning into hours, and days are turning into weeks.
"Get these three hard working men out and back home.''
The petition has gathered more than 1,200 signatures so far.
