100 rescuers to save 100 people ?
Must have been some very important people who got buried first...
Your everyday regular NK is just a log...not worthy of an after thought...
Wouldn’t the first 100 have been nuclear/rocket scientists and support staff?

Once the excavation of the tunnel and the Zero Room is complete it takes many highly trained technicians and engineers to set up the testing and support equipment to get ready for the installation of the device.
We don't know how far along they were so there could be an outside chance the device was already installed in the Zero Room and they were finalizing things for the shot.
I doubt the Norks have too many really skilled, smart people who are capable of supporting these tests so it would be of extremely high importance to rescue any survivors.
