Dramatic rescue in LA: 31 trapped tunnel workers saved after massive underground collapse
A dramatic rescue in LA’s Wilmington area: all 31 workers trapped in a collapsed tunnel were saved. The 18-ft-wide wastewater tunnel part of a $630M project collapsed over 300 feet underground. LAFD teams worked fast, lifting each worker out in cages. Mayor Karen Bass and Supervisor Janice Hahn praised first responders. No injuries reported. The project, still underway, aims to modernize LA’s infrastructure by 2027.
