'No hollow or empty space': A drone operator reveals challenges in Nepal's tunnel rescue efforts

10 Sept 04:28 Key points summarised by AI

Drone operator Manish Maharjan reveals the primary challenge in Nepal's tunnel rescue efforts: tunnels are completely filled with mud, leaving "no hollow or empty space" for potential survivors.
Maharjan utilizes thermal drones to locate missing workers from hydropower projects, successfully aiding in the rescue of stranded individuals in open areas and caves using speakers.
Despite their effectiveness in open terrain, drones face severe limitations in tunnel searches due to the dense mud and complex, winding structures, making it nearly impossible to locate the estimated 500 workers trapped inside.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
