Rescuers in Nepal have pulled two workers alive from an underground tunnel at a hydropower plant. That is raising hopes of reaching dozens of others believed to be trapped there nine days after deadly floods swept away villages and submerged the Himalayan region in mud and debris. Search teams first heard voices from inside the tunnel Friday morning. Nepalese lawmaker Shri Ram Neupane said that allowed the rescuers to locate the men. Images showed a rescuer carrying one of the workers, covered in mud, on his back. Army spokesperson  Brig. Gen. Raja Ram Basnet said one of those rescued said more people are alive inside the tunnel.
