Five miners found alive in flooded Laos cave | 7NEWS
Five men trapped in a flooded cave system in Xaisomboun Province, Laos for nine days have been found alive, though two others remain missing. The rescue operation faces extreme challenges including narrow 50-centimetre-high tunnels, 27 metres of underwater passages, high carbon dioxide levels, and unstable walls. Australian cave dive expert Josh Richards and rescue expert Arnold Dix are assisting in the dangerous extraction mission, with rescuers debating whether to use sedation and scuba equipment or drain the tunnels before monsoon rains intensify.
