Expert hopeful on rescue of Indian tunnel workers

Rescuers were trying to send cooked food to workers trapped in a collapsed tunnel in the Indian Himalayas on Monday (November 20) as they worked on new plans to get them out. The 41 workers have been trapped since November 12, when a 3-mile highway tunnel in Uttarkhand state caved in. Officials were upbeat about five new plans to free the workers, including drilling vertically from the top of the mountain. Though previous attempts have ended in failure. Rescuers were drilling a second, 60 meter long (196.8 foot) pipe through the debris to deliver cooked meals and a fiber optic connection to allow the trapped men to contact their families.
