They were carrying out work inside the tube and were unable to come out and lost communication with their colleagues outside the pipeline,” he said.  Al-Hammadi said the Civil Defense teams found the missing workers unconscious at a distance of 360 meters and they were taken out by creating holes in the tube by Civil Defense equipment. The medical teams, who reached the site, confirmed that all the six workers were dead.
