Fatal injuries hinder the progress of Musk's underground plan and cause safety hazards

Construction of the Boring Company tunnel in Las Vegas was suspended due to a fatal squeeze injury. The accident occurred during a routine heavy machinery operation and is currently under investigation by the authorities and the company's safety team. The company, founded by Elon Musk, has suspended construction and expressed condolences and reiterated its commitment to safety. The shutdown has raised concerns about the safety of its proprietary tunnel construction methods and prompted calls for stronger regulation of private infrastructure projects.
