UTO, Japan–A powerful magnet attached to a Kobelco<\/a> SK500D LC<\/a> excavator was used to retrieve metal filing cabinets packed with important documents from the quake-shattered city hall.<\/p>\n

\"ImageThe excavator-magnet combo pulled out five metallic file cabinets through the windows on the fourth floor of the five-story building.<\/p>\n

Workers then began tearing down the exterior walls of the steel-reinforced concrete structure to locate other filing cabinets.<\/p>\n

The city hall, which suffered the most damage to its fourth floor during the series of earthquakes that struck Kumamoto Prefecture in mid-April, has been off limits as it is in danger of collapsing.<\/p>\n

More than 50 file cabinets had remained inside the building after the quakes, according to a city government official.<\/p>\n

The government aims to collect all the files by the end of this month and then start demolition work in September.<\/p>\n
