Two Dead and Fourteen Missing After LA Tunnel Blast
A predawn natural gas explosion in a five mile tunnel near the San Gabriel Mountains killed two workers and left 14 missing. One survivor, Paul Bagley, 67, described choking smoke and failed rescues while Louis Renteria, 51, survived. The blast, possibly caused by a spark igniting gas, followed a prior blast a day earlier that injured four. Rescue teams recovered two bodies about eight hours after the explosion as 15 rescuers entered the tunnel at dawn.
