The bodies of two construction workers were recovered on Friday after being trapped for nearly 4 days in a 60-foot trench in Chennai, India. The trench collapsed Sunday amid heavy rains from Cyclone Michaung, causing a bus shelter, gas station, and makeshift office to cave in. An assistant engineer and 21-year-old gas station worker were trapped inside the office. Rescuers faced difficulties reaching the men due to rising water levels. Police have arrested two construction site supervisors and are searching for two more people for charges related to negligence and culpable homicide. An investigation into construction violations is also underway.
