Narrow Mine Side Tunnel

Narrow Side Tunnel

A cramped branch off the main mine tunnel where Indiana Jones shoves Willie Scott and Short Round inside just as the cistern flood unleashes a thundering tidal wave. Damp rock walls press tight around the trio, who huddle amid echoing roars and stinging spray from the passage mouth. The space buys seconds of refuge, its narrow confines shielding them from the deluge that would drown the quarry tunnels, while distant crashes signal ongoing mine collapse.
