Rescuers have pulled four bodies of construction workers from under scaffolding that collapsed on Aug. 4 in western Turkey.

The body of the fourth worker was found and pulled out early on Aug. 5. 

Two bodies were retrieved later on Aug. 4 night following an earlier discovery.

The men were standing on the scaffolding when it collapsed under the weight of fresh concrete during the construction of a highway bridge linking Izmir to Menemen on Aug. 4.
