Around 279 hydroelectric workers were rescued or managed to walk out of the mud-covered tunnels after the landslide that blocked the passages in Nepal. One of the rescued workers said that many nights they can't sleep because they are crying, describing the experience as a hellish escape through the tunnels. The rescue teams continue to work fearing that other workers may still remain trapped inside the tunnels. The accident occurred at a hydroelectric power plant under construction in Nepal, where hundreds of workers were trapped when an avalanche of earth and stones buried the tunnel entrances.
