Two men are rescued alive from a tunnel in Nepal about nine days after catastrophic flash floods swept away villages and damaged infrastructure, including a hydropower project. Multiple outlets report video showing rescuers hauling one man out of the tunnel, with the rescue occurring after search teams locate the trapped workers.

The rescues focus on the Trishuli 3A hydropower tunnel and follow an August 26 disaster. The Kathmandu Post and Global News say rescuers heard voices from inside the tunnel, which helped them pinpoint the men’s location. Other reports describe how the workers’ survival was tied to actions taken during the event, including one worker staying behind to help colleagues escape.

Outlets also vary slightly on timing and details: CBS and other sources describe two men being pulled out after nine days, while PBS NewsHour and The Mirror add that a third worker has also been pulled alive from the same broader Trishuli hydropower project area. The Washington Post and others cite the scale of the flooding’s death toll in the region, providing context for why searches continue after days of uncertainty.
