Nepal tunnel rescue efforts described as unprecedented after border collapse
A glacial and mountain collapse on the China-Nepal border has killed at least 1,385 people and left more than 5,500 missing, with rescue teams facing unprecedented challenges in Himalayan hydropower tunnels.
A glacial and mountain collapse on the China-Nepal border on August 26 has killed at least 1,385 people, with more than 5,500 missing across the two countries. Hundreds of hydropower workers are among the missing. Search operations, now in their thirteenth day, are underway in Himalayan hydropower tunnels. Australian rescue expert Arnold Dix, president of the International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association, said on Monday that the challenge was unprecedented, with multiple potential rescues unfolding at the same time in different places. "We are facing something I have never faced before," he said in a social media post.
