Two hydropower workers were pulled from a tunnel buried by debris in Nepal on Sept. 6, more than a week after catastrophic flooding swept through the area, government ministers said.
Rescuers cheered as one man was pulled from a muddy opening, video released by the energy ministry showed. He was helped to his feet by rescuers.
A photograph showed the second man caked in mud, his hands pressed together in prayer, as rescuers carried him away on an orange stretcher.
