Rescue ops enter third day at site of tunnel collapse in north Indian state

Al Jazeera  

Heavy machinery has been brought in to pull out nearly 40 workers trapped inside the highway tunnel in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand. Excavators have begun drilling with heavy machinery to fix a wide steel pipe that will help pull out almost 40 Indian workers trapped inside a collapsed Himalayan highway tunnel that caved in two days ago in the north Indian state of Uttarakhand. More than 100 rescue workers are using heavy machinery to drive a steel pipe with a width of 90cm, wide enough for the trapped men to squeeze through the rubble, the government’s highway and infrastructure company said. Photographs released by government rescue teams soon after the collapse showed huge piles of rubble blocking the wide tunnel, with twisted metal bars from its roof poking down in front of slabs of concrete.
