How did the 41 workers trapped inside a collapsed Himalayan highway tunnel survive for almost two weeks?
Rescue workers have been drilling through tonnes of collapsed rock to reach a crew of 41 men trapped in a tunnel in the Himalayas for the past two weeks. The men have been stuck in the 4.5-kilometre tunnel in India's Uttarakhand state since it caved in early on November 12 and are safe, authorities have said, with access to light, oxygen, food, water and medicine.

The platform of the drilling machine was destabilised while piercing rock debris, and technicians need to fix it before the rescue operation can resume, a spokesperson for the Uttarakhand state government said.
