Laos cave rescue saves five, two still trapped
Published 3 weeks ago
Description
Five men have been rescued from a flooded cave system in central Laos after being trapped underground, with one rescued on Friday and four walking out with assistance. Two men remain missing after 11 days, as specialist divers and rescue teams race against time to reach them through treacherous flooded passages. A newly discovered vertical drop more than 100 metres deep may provide an alternative route into the cave system, while heavy rain and flash flooding continue to hamper rescue efforts.
