Tunnel Collapse Traps Dozens Of Workers

31 Workers are alive after escaping from a tunnel collapse in the Los Angeles area.

The collapse happened Wednesday night in Wilmington, located about 20 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. Workers were six miles into the tunnel and approximately 400 feet underground when a portion of the tunnel came down.

The industrial tunnel was being built for a wastewater management project. Only minor injuries were reported.

L.A. Mayor Karen Bass says the workers are in a good mood after being recused.

An investigation into the exact cause of the collapse has begun.
