00:00Two hydropower workers in Nepal have survived nine days trapped inside a flooded tunnel.
00:05Kabir Maharjan and Sanjay Sa were caught after a glacier collapse triggered massive floods and
00:10mudslides. The disaster struck Nepal's Trishuli Valley on August 26. More than 1,300 people were
00:17killed, while thousands remained missing. The two men survived inside an air-filled chamber
00:22deep underground. Rescuers battled mud, rocks, flooding, and repeated collapses to reach them.
00:28After nearly six days of digging, crews finally reached the buried tunnel entrance.
00:33On the tenth day, rescuers heard sounds coming from inside. They drilled through the remaining
00:38debris and saw a survivor's hand. Soon, the men were pulled into daylight, both too weak to stand.
00:44Their survival has raised hopes for other workers still believed trapped underground.
00:49Search and rescue operations continue across the devastated valley.
