This Tuesday, rescue teams recovered the first 41 employees who was trapped back 17 days in a tunnel under construction in the north India and authorities expect all workers to be out in about three hours.
“The first one has already come out,” rescue team engineer Chandran told reporters at the exit of the tunnel in the city Silkyara, in the northern state Uttarakhand.
Representative National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), Lieutenant General Syed Ata Hasnain said at a press conference this afternoon that it would take three to five minutes for each worker to leave.
“It only takes three to four hours” for all the workers to emerge from the rubble, Hasnain said.
In the early hours of November 12, workers were trapped when a section of a tunnel under construction collapsed, leaving them separated from the entrance by a layer of debris. Thickness 60 meters.
Since then, after more than two weeks of drilling, carried out mainly by a tunnel boring machine that broke down last Friday, the final excavation to save them has been carried out by three teams of miners who specialize in tunneling. into tunnels that are narrow, despite the risk this entails.
Finally, the rescuers managed to complete the installation pipeline about a meter in diameter and about sixty in length, the head of the government of the northern state of Uttarakhand Pushkar Singh Dhami said on the social network X.
Some 41 ambulances are now waiting near the tunnel, first taking people to a makeshift hospital at the scene and then transporting them to an area hospital using military helicopters.
The workers, as expected, are very weakened, even though they received food, water and medicines, in addition oxygen, from the day of the collapse thanks to a narrow pipe that connected its cavity with the entrance and survived the collapse.
The rescue of workers, which continues for more than 400 hours (almost 17 days), suffered numerous setbacks from the start that significantly delayed the time authorities expected to rescue them alive, following minor landslides, metal obstacles preventing drilling, or tunnel boring machine failures.
