MOSCOW: Eight members of a tour group exploring underground tunnels in Moscow's sewer system on Sunday (Aug 20) have been found dead after getting caught off-guard by flash flooding, local media
The victims, who were touring an underground river known as the Neglinka, are believed to have become trapped by rising water levels following a downpour and were unable to escape to the surface.
"The bodies of all participants of the excursion have been found," investigators said, adding formal identification of the victims was underway. Several tour operators offer trips into the vast tunnels of the capital's sewer system, some of which were constructed during the 19th century.
