Nepal floods: Expert on the search for trapped tunnel workers
Rescue teams in Nepal are trying to locate workers who may still be alive within mountain hydropower tunnels, but the passageways are clogged with mud following last week's deadly flash floods. Construction engineer Leon Jacobs agrees it's possible some workers have survived. “Because the tunnels are so large, there’s a fair amount of air down there," he told "Elizabeth Vargas Reports" on Wednesday. "The question, of course, becomes what do they have for food and water?”
