March 17th 1979 saw a collapse in the Penmanshiel Tunnel near Grantshouse Berwickshire, in the Scottish Borders, two men tragically lost their lives.

Shortly before 3:45 a.m. on 17 March 1979, the duty Railway Works Inspector noticed some small pieces of rock flaking away from the tunnel wall, approximately 90 metres from the southern entrance, He decided that it would be wise to shore up the affected piece of the tunnel and was making his way towards the site office to arrange this when he heard the sound of the tunnel collapsing behind him.

It is estimated that approximately 20 metres of the tunnel arch collapsed, with the resultant rock fall filling 30 metres of the tunnel from floor to roof and totally enveloping a dumper truck and a JCB, along with the two men operating them. Despite efforts to get to the men further falling rock prevented this.

The thirteen other people working inside the tunnel at the time of the collapse were able to escape successfully, but despite the efforts of rescuers (including a specialised mine rescue team) it was not possible to reach the two operators.

What must be more heart-breaking for the families of the two men, Gordon Turnbull and Peter Fowler is that it was deemed too dangerous to try and recover the bodies and the tunnel was sealed and abandoned their remains left buried where they perished.

A report into the collapse could not reach a conclusion on the overall cause due to the abandonment. However, geotechnical investigations of the area surrounding the tunnel found evidence suggesting fracturing of rock overlaying the tunnel and, in particular, an anticlinal structure of shattered and sheared rock intersecting the line of the tunnel in close proximity to the area of the collapse.

The report accordingly concluded that the collapse was likely to be the result of degeneration of the fractured rock overlying the tunnel in the end it stated that as the conditions leading to the collapse could not reasonably be foreseen—there were no grounds for finding any individual responsible for the accident.

Despite the enquiry findings British Railways were fined £10,000 "having failed to ensure that persons in the tunnel were not exposed to the risk of personal injury by the collapse of part of the [tunnel] structure", they did not contest the case pleading guilty to the charges.

A memorial stands directly over the point of the rock fall in tribute to Gordon and Peter, the 3-sided Obelisk bares a plaque dedicated to each of the men, and the 3rd side bares the cross, with the memorial constructed from rock that had fallen that night.

Afterwards the east coast rail line was diverted, a cutting was made, which also meant the A1 road nearby had to be diverted.

Translation of article with Sakurai Sho from "News Zero". 239 Three months since the Yashio crash New developments at the search site.

On twenty-eight April 2025, it will be exactly three months since the accident that collapsed a road in Yashio, Saitama Prefecture.

New details have emerged at the scene of the search for the driver.

We arrived at the site of the collapse.

-Sakurai: "We saw a big crane behind us. We couldn't go any further from here, so we were told to turn off the street."

With the permission of a nearby company, we looked from the roof.

-Sakurai:-"From above, the building is quite massive. There are some ordinary residential buildings around. You can see that the accident happened in the middle of a residential area."

Three months ago, an accident suddenly occurred on a road in Yashio Prefecture, Saitama.

A ten-metre hole opened up in the middle of the intersection, into which a male truck driver fell.

He is believed to still be stranded.

The next day a second funnel appeared, forming two holes.

The two holes were then joined….

Three days after the collapse, the hole was about forty metres in diameter. The accident is believed to have been caused by corrosion and damage to an underground sewer pipe.

Experts who inspected the scene today.

-Hiroshi Chikaku-san, Geotechnical Systems Research Institute:-"In front of the crane is a steel frame in the shape of a gate. The driver's seat is directly underneath it."

Our attention was drawn to the new frame-like structure that was built on the day of the interview.

In preparation for the rescue, pits were dug on two sides: almost directly above the driver's seat and at an angle.

The new structure was built in the part that was thought to be directly above it.

-Hiroshi Chikaku-san, Geotechnical Systems Research Institute:-"You can dig a hole with this and pull it up with this. I think they think differently."

The driver's section can also be lifted from here. In addition, the key to restarting the search is already in place.

The sewer pipe where the driver's seat is located.

The sewage flowing down it interfered with the search.

So a "temporary drainage pipe" was built to bring the sewage closer.

However, according to the prefecture, the water level has not gone down enough, although by today it had already started flowing in that direction.

Hiroshi Chikaku-san, Geotechnical Systems Research Institute:-"(Sewer pipes) must be dry and ready for construction. It is difficult. If there is no slope, water cannot flow. I think that currently the slope is not constructed correctly."

-Sakurai:-"We are also concerned about rain, as the rainy season is approaching, how does it affect you?"

Hiroshi Chikaku-san, Geotechnical Systems Research Institute:-"That's the biggest concern. I think they rushed it, because if the construction is not completed before the rainy season, it will become a big problem, so rainwater and other water will not flow back…"

-Sakurai:- The road remains closed in all directions at the junction with the flooded road in the vicinity of the site. Some primary schools have been forced to change their route to school, and guides are on duty at the site 24 hours a day to ensure that residents do not mistakenly enter the restricted area.

-Fujii: -The hole wasn't very big at first, but it spread quickly. There were restaurants operating in the area, weren't there?

-Sakurai:- This restaurant, located at that very intersection, has been providing parking spaces for rescue workers since the accident, and also offered the restaurant as a resting place for construction workers. But even now, there is no chance of the restaurant reopening, and employees have moved to other related restaurants or left their jobs. The first priority is to rescue the man and strenuous work continues at the scene.
