A scary situation unfolded in Los Angeles when part of an industrial tunnel under construction collapsed, trapping at least 15 workers inside. Rescue teams sprang into action, managing to safely pull out 31 people so far. Over 100 firefighters and specialized Urban Search and Rescue crews are on the scene, focusing on the tunnel’s only entry point. The tunnel, meant for wastewater, is now the center of a high-stakes effort to reach those still stuck.

Editor’s Note: Tunnel collapses are rare but terrifying—workers are in real danger until rescued, and every minute counts. This story highlights both the risks of construction work and the massive coordination required in emergencies. For LA, it’s a grim reminder of infrastructure vulnerabilities, especially as the city expands underground systems. Families are waiting anxiously, and the city’s response could set a precedent for handling similar disasters.
