SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A subway tunnel under construction
near Seoul collapsed on Friday, likely leaving two workers
trapped at the site, officials said.
The National Fire Agency said in a statement that authorities
were mobilizing 55 rescue workers and 18 vehicles to rescue
possible victims.
The collapse happened at Gwangmyeong, a city just south of
Seoul.
Gwangmyeong city officials said authorities earlier withdrew
workers from the construction site and stopped traffic around
the area after receiving reports that a ventilation shaft at the
site was at a risk of collapse.
The officials said it wasn't immediately known whether any
workers re-entered the site.
