Elon Musk’s Boring Company suspends work on Vegas airport tunnel after ‘crushing injury’


A worker had to be rescued by the local fire department, but is reportedly stable. Dozens of Boring Company workers have been injured over the years in Vegas.

Elon Musk’s Boring Company has reportedly stopped work on a tunnel it’s been digging to the Las Vegas airport after a worker sustained a “crushing injury” late Wednesday night, according to Fortune. The Clark County Fire Department received a call at 10:12 p.m. local time on Wednesday and dispatched an 18-person rescue crew to the site. The Boring Company has spent the last few years digging tunnels that connect the Las Vegas Convention Center with a small number of nearby hotel casinos.
