Moment people trapped in flooded Laos cave are found alive

Five of the seven people who were trapped in a flooded cave in Laos for a week have miraculously been found alive.'We've found 5 people alive and all safe. There are still 2 people we are searching for,' Laotian rescue group Rescue Volunteer for People said in a social media post.'At 4.30pm, we found our target. We found five people. We are looking for the other two,' added Thai rescuer Kengkach Bangkawong in a Facebook post.Footage of the incredible rescue shows an underwater search team making contact with the group as they are seen sheltering on rocks while muddy water from torrential rain pins them inside.The locals were stranded in the cave in Xaisomboun province on May 19 when intense rainfall sent water rushing through the rocks and blocked the entrance.
