His craft, employer and the specific nature of work being performed within the *subterranean* utility room, have not been specified. Though LAFD has no update on his status, "he has certainly been given a fighting chance of survival thanks to the prompt and well-coordinated teamwork of LAPD, LAX PD and LAFD first responders". The LAFD does identify receiving hospitals, and may not be able to offer any updates on the man's status. The incident is being investigated by Cal-OSHA.; - Brian Humphrey
