India tunnel collapse: Rescue efforts continue in Uttarakhand – BBC News
The lives of 40 Indian labourers, who have been trapped in a tunnel for more than 72 hours, hang in the balance as authorities try to rescue them.
The workers were building the tunnel in northern Uttarakhand state when a part of it caved in due to a landslide on Sunday.
State and federal rescue teams have been using a massive drill to push through the debris to reach the men.
Officials have been able to establish contact with the workers.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

|ndians have no regard for |ndian life. In other videos, there is one |ndian worker saying that "we are still TRYING whatever techniques we have" (trial and error method) , which means that, every |ndian workers in this video were used as sacrificial lambs or the guinea 🐖 for their tunnelling experiments. 🤭 |ndians have no regard for |ndian life because they have 1.42 billions of them and each and every low caste |ndians especially the dalits are expendable. As you can see in this video, their enginneers/builders look so inexperienced, new equipment were not even tested before usage and the pace of the rescue mission were very slow. Obviously, they are not well prepared or equipped with the necessary skills and technology to deal with this kind of situation.🤭 Yet, these |ndians are making so many propagandas telling the world that their engineering skills/infrastructures are top notch #1 all over the internet. 🤭Pride comes before the fall, |ndians. Remember that.

Only Workers Trapped?? No Safety Officers, No Supervisory staff, or Tunnel Constructing authorities..?? That means safety was at stake. Only Blah blah blah. This is the reality of every Indian Project. Now a junior officer or a junior Engineer will be made scapegoat.

1. Pedestrian bridges collapse, killed 160
2. Suspension bridge collapse, twice in a year.
3. Mizoram railway bridge, killed 30
4. Train collided in Andhra Pradesh, killed 14
5. Train collided in Odisha, killed 296.
6. Now this tunnel.
All in one year, and i don't count bridges and roads that collapse because of flood and landslide. they are uncountable.Such a horrible construction level.And they say India became superpower in 2020.

I truly hope all are saved soon. But enough with all this religious hand wringing and appeals to god to save them. If a god does exist, why did he allow this to happen in the first place (and no it is not free will)?!
