Two construction workers in China have recently been detained after local authorities said that they plowed through a section of the country’s Great Wall with an excavator, which left a gaping hole.
According to the state-owned media outlet China Daily, the pair, a 38-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman, caused “irreversible damage” when they used the construction equipment to widen an existing gap and create a large shortcut to drive the excavator through it. Meanwhile, it was stated that the security bureau said it was first notified of the hole in a wall section near the township of Yangqianhe, about 215 miles west of Beijing, on the afternoon of August 24.
Law enforcement officers rushed to the scene to find that a piece of the wall, believed to have been constructed during the Ming dynasty between the 14th and 17th centuries, had been severely “excavated and damaged by large-scale machinery.”The pair have since been taken in for investigation and have been charged with destroying a cultural relic.
