More than two dozen people were miraculously rescued from
after a tunnel collapsed in the Los Angeles suburb of
Wilmington on Wednesday night.
Los Angeles Fire Department crews raced to the scene on
South Figueroa Street at around 8pm, and deployed all of
its Urban Search and Rescue Teams to free the workers
stuck under the rubble, CBS News reports.
As many as 31 workers were then hoisted from a crane to
the surface in groups of eight until they were all accounted
for, according to NBC Los Angeles.
As their feet touched the ground, the freed workers were
seen hugging in relief.
The collapse occurred at the $630.5 million Los Angeles
Effluent Outfall Tunnel project, commissioned by the
LA County Sanitation District.
Flatiron Dragados, the prime contractor for the sewage
project, also wrote on its website that the tunnel is
seven miles long, about 18 feet wide and 450 feet
below ground level.
Making rescue efforts more complicated, the only access
to the tunnel is as much as six miles away from where
the workers were trapped, the LA Fire Department said.
. . .
Eeeww - trapped in a sewage tunnel !
Many piss on the blue-collar segment, just
worthless 'betas' and 'gammas', disposable.
However, these are the people who Make Things
Fuckin' WORK.
Oh, 'effluent outfall' ??? Sounds too much
like "Let's pump all the poop into the ocean'.
