First of five men found alive in flooded Laos cave rescued

Four men remain inside a chamber about 300 metres (980ft) from the cave entrance, where they were found crouched and huddled together on a rocky ledge by rescuers on Wednesday.

One survivor was safely guided out of a remote cave in Laos after villagers became trapped there over a week ago.

Meanwhile, searching continues for two more people who still haven't been located.

Rescuers may have to teach at least five miners trapped in a Laos cave to scuba dive as they run out of ways to extract them.
