Rescuers shocked as trapped men emerge safely from Laos cave | ABC NEWS
Four villagers in central Laos have emerged safely from a flooded cave, ending a horrific 10-day ordeal for the group of men who entered the mountain in search of gold.
A fifth member of the group was pulled out by specialist divers in a stunning rescue late on Friday night, using dive equipment to help him out of flooded sections of the tunnel.
The remaining four managed to free themselves on Saturday afternoon, just after 3pm local time, after pumps drained the flooded sections of cave.
Specialist divers were still planning how to get the men out when they suddenly emerged from the cave mouth.
Laos officials believe two others may still be missing in the cave, although rescue crews say they have explored most of the tunnels and have not found any survivors or bodies.
