:35:00
river, the riverbed,
and here's the tunnel:
:35:05
a rectangle
set inside each tube.
:35:08
What's this ?
I don't recognize this.
:35:10
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's--
:35:13
The sandhogs worked 36-hour shifts
building this thing.
:35:16
They had bunk rooms there, chapels,
kitchens-- They had everything.
:35:19
But it was all sealed off
in the renovation of '72.
:35:22
Hmm. Hey, Frank.
:35:25
Did Wilson give an estimate
when he'd get to the mid-river passage ?
:35:28
Nothin' that he
can share, Kit.
:35:30
We had another collapse.
Mr. California got pancaked.
:35:37
[ Kit ]
So what are we lookin' at ?
:35:40
We don't know the stress points
in the mid-river.
:35:42
We can't risk any explosives.
:35:45
- It's all gotta be done by hand.
- That's gonna take forever.
:35:48
If another shaft don't give,
10, 12 hours, minimum.
:35:51
-How long's the air gonna hold ?
-Three hours, max.
:35:54
All right, Frank,
here's what I think we oughta do.
:35:58
I think we gotta cork it up and
seal off the survivors from the fumes...
:36:01
until you can dig out
the mid-river passage.
:36:05
Frank, are you
the acting chief or what ?
:36:08
- Yeah, I'm the acting chief.
- So why don't you act ?
:36:12
What are you tryin' to do,
nothin' ?
:36:14
So you'll be held blameless
in case you have to testify later on ?
:36:18
Don't pull that on me, Kit.
That's past history.
:36:22
I had to take a chance.
Now you do.
:36:25
I was in the same situation as you.
:36:27
There's nothin' to think about.
Frank, it's three hours.
:36:31
You wanna go in, Kit ?
:36:43
Give me clearance.
:36:45
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
That tunnel is sealed from both ends.
:36:50
I mean, the mid-river here
is hanging, like pick-up sticks.
:36:54
Now, what the hell's
the way in, huh ?
