More than two dozen people were miraculously rescued from a tunnel collapse in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.
The Los Angeles Fire Department deployed all of its Urban Search and Rescue Teams at about 8pm to free the workers stuck under the rubble in Wilmington, CBS News reports.
As many as 31 workers were then hoisted from a crane to the surface in groups of eight until they were all accounted for, according to NBC Los Angeles.
The freed workers were seen hugging in relief as their feet touched the ground at the construction site on South Figueroa Street.
The collapse occurred at the $630.5 million Los Angeles Effluent Outfall Tunnel project, commissioned by the LA County Sanitation District.
