Two Workers Rescued Alive From Nepal Hydropower Tunnel After Nine Days

Two workers were pulled alive from a hydropower tunnel in Nepal on Friday, nine days after floods struck the area, according to officials cited by NPR. The workers had remained trapped inside the tunnel since the Aug. 26 flooding. Rescuers reached them during an ongoing operation, though the available report did not provide details about their condition, how they became trapped, or whether other people remained inside. The rescue was reported nine days after the floods, marking the recovery of the two workers alive amid continuing efforts at the site.
