SAYANO-SHUSHENSKAYA, August 31 (RIA Novosti) - Another body has been retrieved at the site of a recent Siberian hydropower plant disaster, bringing the official death toll to 73, a source at the dam said on Monday.
Two people are still missing following the August 17 accident at the Sayano-Shushenskaya station in Siberia's Republic of Khakasia. A surge of water burst into the turbine hall, completely destroying three turbines and flooding several lower stories of the plant.
"Teams working to repair the power plant found another body in the debris underneath hydroelectric unit 7," the source said, adding that it would be "difficult" to identify the body.
