Search teams had little chance of safely rescuing eight workers trapped inside an irrigation tunnel in southern India after it collapsed during construction on the weekend, a minister said Monday. The accident occurred Saturday in the state of Telangana after a sudden inflow of water and soil caused a part of the tunnel to cave in. “Chances of survival I can’t predict. (But) chances are not that good,” state tourism minister Jupally Krishna Rao told reporters.
