Rescuers search for alternative route to reach 2 missing in a flooded Laos cave

The survivors had entered the cave searching for gold when heavy rains fell.

The seven people reportedly entered the cave last week to look for valuable minerals before being trapped by a flash flood that blocked their way out.

The cave saga began with a quest to find minerals

Those rescued are now in the process of guiding and helping the authorities rescue the last two remaining men believed to be trapped even deeper inside.
