Nepal: Two Pulled Alive from Tunnel Nine Days After Floods
Crews are racing to find hundreds still believed trapped after a glacier collapse triggered floods that killed more than 1,200 people.
Rescuers in Nepal successfully pulled two workers, mechanical foreman Sanjay Shah and mechanical supervisor Kabir Maharjan, alive from a hydropower tunnel nine days after catastrophic floods swept through the country's border region with China. The two men were freed from the Upper Trishuli 3A Hydropower Station's tunnel along the Trishuli River, according to the energy minister's office.
Rescue operations continue in all the affected tunnels, with emergency teams still striving to reach hundreds more believed trapped inside similar tunnels.
