Two trapped workers found alive in hydropower tunnel 9 days after Nepal floods
KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) – Rescuers in Nepal pulled two workers alive from an underground tunnel at a hydropower plant on Friday, raising hopes of reaching dozens of others believed to be trapped nine days after deadly floods swept away villages and submerged the Himalayan region in mud and debris. Search teams first heard voices from inside the tunnel in the morning, allowing them to locate the two men, Nepalese lawmaker Shri Ram Neupane said. Images showed a rescuer carrying one of the workers, covered in mud, on his back, while soldiers on either side helped.
