Miner Dies in California Water Project Tunnel Disaster
In a tunnel one mile into the California water project excavation a 63 year old miner Paul Badgley died after four entry attempts to rescue trapped workers failed due to heat and smoke. A crane lowered four rescuers into the 140 foot shaft but they found the body and were driven back. The tunnel serves the Department of Water and Power with about 20 miners normally inside, and the disaster underscores the peril of the multibillion dollar project bringing northern water south.
