The usage of "into"
The content I saw goes as below:
"One worker fell ill during the work on Sunday, the company said. The man, in his 30s, was placing hoses for collecting the contaminated water from reactor No. 2 when he became ill, nearly two hours into his shift"
What I don't understand is the last sentence, "nearly two hour into his shift", does that equal to
"nearly two hour after his shift started"?
Thx so much for answering in advance!
