A team of "rat miners" successfully rescued the 41 men who had been stranded in a highway tunnel in the Indian Himalayas for 17 days. Rat-hole mining, once widely used for coal extraction, was banned in India in 2014.
Falling debris and broken machines are stalling the rescue of 40 workers trapped for almost a week in a highway tunnel that partially collapsed on November 12 in Uttarkashi, India.
