[Rescuers in India have freed 41 workers who had been trapped in a collapsed Himalayan tunnel for 17 days. Miners drilled the final section by hand to reach the workers in the 4.5km (3-mile) tunnel in Uttarakhand. The men, who were brought out in wheeled stretchers through a 90cm (3ft) wide pipe, were taken to hospital for check-ups. No one was injured. Marathon efforts to free them from the Silkyara tunnel which collapsed on 12 November overcame numerous setbacks. The mission was ultimately completed on Tuesday evening thanks to the efforts of a group of "rat-hole" miners, who used hand-held drills to break through the rock.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-67551478 17 days stuck down there One man took control of the 40 of them.
