Nepal power plant workers rescued from flooded tunnel?

Two men have now been pulled alive from the flooded Trishuli 3A hydropower tunnel in Nepal, nine days after the flood struck, and rescuers say they can still hear voices from inside, raising hopes that more of the more than 600 workers feared trapped may be found alive [1, 3]. Crews, including Chinese and Nepalese military personnel and specialists from India, Korea and Australia, have been blasting through a hillside to reach mud-filled tunnels along the Trishuli River, and hundreds have already been pulled from one hydropower tunnel in Rasuwa district [3, 4]. The disaster stems from a Himalayan glacial collapse on 26 August that triggered flooding along the Nepal-China border, with the overall death toll now above 1,000 [2].
