SWITZERLAND TUNNEL FIRE

A truck waits on the road leading to the Gotthard tunnel near Airolo, Switzerland, as thick black smoke billows from an exhaust exit of the Gotthard tunnel, Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2001. A fire broke out inside the 15 km (9.5 mile) tunnel after a head-on crash between two trucks. At least nine people were killed following the crash in the world's second longest tunnel on Wednesday, police said. (AP Photo/KEYSTONE, Giuliano Giulini)
