Two survivors pulled alive from a Nepal hydropower tunnel after a week

Rescuers have pulled two survivors from a tunnel at the Trishuli Three A hydroelectric dam in Nepal, a moment of rejoicing after more than a week of grim news following the country's deadly floods and landslides.

Engineers at the scene say rescue efforts are continuing. They had believed as many as 30 people could be in the chamber where the two survivors were found, but so far only two have been located. Crews say they are pushing on and not giving up hope, calling it a rare bright spot in what has otherwise been a dark stretch for Nepal.
