Los Angeles Tunnel Collapse
Digest more
More than two dozen workers escaped unharmed after a Los Angeles tunnel collapse left them racing for miles in darkness, clambering over debris and water before rescuers reached them.
The stakes are especially high in this remote corner of the state. The Environmental Impact Report notes that “U.S. 101 is the only north/south state highway in the county, and the only viable route between Klamath and Crescent City; a closure of the highway between the two communities would result in a 449-mile detour.”
