Sandhog Is Rescued After Tunnel CollapseBOSTON (UPI)--A sandhog was rescued by fellow workers early today when a section of the new East Boston Tunnel collapsed beneath Boston Harbor.
Andy Fuleki, 32, of Roxbury was entombed in muck that fell from the roof of the tunnel 50 feet beneath the floor of the harbor.
After his rescue, Fuleki had another brush with death when he was prematurely removed from a decompression chamber. The second incident resulted in his hospitalization with the "bends."
Fuleki's plight was discovered when other sandhogs heard a faint tapping as they were becoming decompressed before leaving the job.
The entire work force of 35 men dug frantically for 15 minutes to free Fuleki.
