Investigation Summary
The tunnel connecting Deer Island, Boston, MA, to Nut Island, Quincy, MA, is 4 1/2 miles long. The work site was at the Deer Island shaft, a 350 ft deep by 14 ft in diameter shaft tunnel. TBM is at 17,000 feet. A fire started in the vertical conveyor, forcing all workers to leave both shaft areas and head to the exit by way of a vent shaft on Long Island, Boston. A total of 42 workers were rescued by crane and man cage from the 290 foot deep vent shaft. This took about 2 1/2 hours because the man cage could only hold two workers per trip. Employees #1 through #25 were sent to the hospital for smoke inhalation. They were all treated and released.
