After 10 days trapped inside a flooded hydropower tunnel, another worker has been pulled out alive in Nepal.
The Chinese national was found inside a 738-foot tunnel at the Trishuli 3A hydropower project.
Rescuers carried him to a waiting helicopter, where medics immediately began checking his condition.
He is now the third worker rescued alive from the tunnel network.
Two others were pulled out just one day earlier.
The rescues have given exhausted teams new hope, especially as hundreds of workers remain missing across Nepal’s hydropower projects.
One rescue expert put it simply:
“We now have proof that people can survive this long.”
And that proof could mean everything for those still trapped underground.
