“We were very lucky”: 31 construction workers safe after Los Angeles tunnel collapse

From Global News.

The Los Angeles Fire Department said 31 construction workers were safe after the partial collapse of an industrial tunnel on Wednesday evening.

Workers had to scramble over a mound of loose soil and debris before rescuers were finally able to reach them and hoist them out of the tunnel, LAFD interim fire chief Ronnie Villanueva said.

Paramedics said none of the workers had major injuries.

The nearly $700 million project will eventually carry treated wastewater 400 feet below ground across Los Angeles County to the Pacific Ocean.
