The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Workers trapped in Himalayan tunnel seen for first time in nine days” – below is their description.
A group of 41 workers trapped in a tunnel in India have been seen alive for the first time in nine days.
The footage was captured on Monday by a miniature camera inserted into a small pipe drilled into the tunnel, where they have been trapped since November 12.
The men were working in an under-construction highway tunnel in India’s northern Uttarakhand tunnel when it collapsed under a landslide.
They have been trapped inside ever since, surviving on snacks, water and oxygen supplies sent in via pipes and communicating with the outside world via walkie-talkies.
Rescuers plan to insert a 90cm pipe for the men to crawl out through but have been delayed by loose soil and falling debris.
