Nepal workers pulled alive from tunnel after 9 days; ICE officer charged with lying to FBI
Army crews said they can still hear more voices inside as nationwide flood deaths top 1,200 and thousands remain missing.
- On Friday, Nepal Army rescuers pulled two workers alive from a flooded hydropower tunnel nine days after catastrophic floods trapped them underground; Sanjay Sah and Kabir Maharjan were airlifted to Kathmandu for treatment.
- Nationwide, more than 1,200 people have died in the floods with more than 5,000 still missing; across the border in Tibet, Chinese officials reported 21 dead and more than 500 missing, while about 900 workers remain unaccounted for across Nepal's hydropower projects.
- Rescuers heard voices from inside the tunnel Friday morning, confirming survivors and helping locate the men; more than 100 others are thought to be trapped in the same tunnel as crews navigate tons of water and debris through a dozen massive hydropower tunnels.
- One of the rescued workers remains in critical condition at a Kathmandu hospital, while Sanjay Sah told rescuers he was a control room operator who could not abandon others; families waited anxiously for days before expressing overwhelming relief.
- Rescue teams continue clearing entrances and searching underground for additional survivors, with hundreds of workers believed to remain trapped in tunnels blocked by flood debris; the discovery of two alive workers has given first responders hope that others might also survive.
