Rescuers have successfully drilled through debris to reach 41 workers trapped for 17 days in a collapsed tunnel in the Indian Himalayas. The men were stuck in the 4.5km tunnel in the mountainous state of Uttarakhand since it caved in earlier this month. An evacuation was pushed through and debris cleared before rescue workers could crawl through and begin getting the men out. After repeated setbacks in the operation, military engineers and skilled miners worked by hand in a painstaking dig through rock and rubble towards the men using a so-called "rat-hole" mining technique to clear the final stretch.
