00:00Rescuers in Nepal and China are racing against time,
00:03digging through thick mud to reach workers trapped deep inside mountain tunnels.
00:07It's been days since a glacial collapse triggered a catastrophic wall of water and debris through the Himalayas.
00:13And officials on both sides of the border now say more than 3,000 people are missing,
00:18with at least 750 confirmed dead.
00:21In Nepal alone, nearly 900 hydropower employees remain unaccounted for.
00:26Many believed trapped at hydroelectric sites along the Trishuli River.
00:31Teams have pumped air into a flooded tunnel at one plant
00:34and are now drilling down to reach anyone who survived.
00:37Rescue crews from India and China have joined the effort.
00:40But rising river levels, fresh landslide risk, and a newly formed lake from the collapse
00:46are making an already dangerous operation even harder.
00:49Search teams say every hour matters as they push deeper into the wreckage.
