STORY: Emergency service workers rescued on Monday (November 3) a Romanian worker who had been trapped in Italy's Torre dei Conti tower after it had partially collapsed earlier in the day.

Part of the 29-meter (95 ft) medieval tower in central Rome, near the Colosseum crashed to the ground on at least two occasions, videos posted on social media and Reuters footage showed. The first took place at around 1030 GMT, the second about 90 minutes later.

A second worker, also Romanian, was pulled out almost immediately and hospitalized with serious but not life-threatening head injuries, while two more workers suffered minor injuries and declined hospital treatment.

The tower, which was due to be converted into a museum and conference space, is located halfway along the Via dei Fori Imperiali, the broad avenue that leads from central Piazza Venezia to the Colosseum.

The building was still standing, but showing significant internal damage.
