2 Trapped Workers Rescued After Nepal Floods

KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Rescuers in Nepal have pulled two workers alive from a hydropower tunnel, raising hopes of reaching a dozen others believed to be trapped nine days after catastrophic floods devastated towns and swept away villages. The two men, identified as a mechanical foreman and a mechanical supervisor, were found in the tunnel at the Trishuli 3A construction site Friday morning after rescuers heard their voices. Officials say they are in stable condition and have been flown to a hospital in Kathmandu. About 900 workers are missing from 12 hydropower projects in Nepal, with roughly 500 believed to be trapped in tunnels, according to authorities. An army spokesperson said one of the survivors told rescuers that more people were still alive inside the tunnel.
