Nepal Tunnel Rescue Underway
Reports indicate that rescue teams in Nepal are racing against time to save hundreds of workers believed to be trapped inside the tunnels of hydroelectric power plants, after they were shut off by mud and rocks following the devastating floods that struck the region on August 26. The disaster has resulted in over 900 deaths and the disappearance of more than 4,200 people, while causing damage to power facilities with a capacity of up to 700 megawatts, roughly 10% of the country's electricity production. Excavation and rescue efforts continue with the use of explosions and heavy machinery, amid concerns about declining oxygen levels and the presence of safe pockets that may protect some workers from death.
