All 12 trapped in Dalian tunnel cave-in rescued

ALL 12 workers who were trapped by a tunnel cave-in in northeast China's Liaoning Province yesterday have been pulled out alive as of 4:10 pm today, rescuers and witnesses said.

The 12 workers are in stable condition after being trapped for 36 hours. The tunnel was under construction when it collapsed yesterday morning in Dalian, a coastal city in Liaoning.

The workers were pulled out through a rescue duct that was completed early this morning, rescuers said.

Some of the workers even enjoyed a cigarette after being received by a joyous crowd, witnesses said. They were then sent to a local hospital for treatment.

Food, water and mobile phones were sent down to the workers during their ordeal via ventilation holes that were dug yesterday, rescuers said.
