Thai Tunnel Collapse Claims Lives of Three Foreign Workers
Rescue efforts hampered by ongoing landslides and engineering challenges over five days.
- The tunnel collapse occurred during construction of the Thailand-China high-speed railway project.
- Three workers, two from China and one from Myanmar, were trapped and later found dead due to suffocation.
