Rescuers Pull Two More Alive From Nepal Tunnel Debris.
Rescuers pulled a Chinese national alive from a hydropower tunnel in Nepal on Saturday, 10 days after floods struck the country. A joint Nepalese military and South Korean team carried out the rescue.
- 3 workers total have now been pulled alive from the Trishuli hydropower project.
- 225 meters: the tunnel depth from which the Chinese national was extracted.
- 900 workers are missing across 12 hydropower projects nationwide.
- 500 of those missing are believed to be trapped in various tunnels.
Why it matters: The Aug. 26 floods, likely caused by a glacier collapse, killed at least 1,300 people and left more than 5,000 missing across Nepal.
- Hydropower tunnels house large numbers of workers, concentrating the missing-persons crisis underground.
