Rescuers find five people alive in flooded Laos cave, face dangerous extraction

Five people trapped in a flooded Laos cave for a week were found alive, but extracting them remains life-threatening. The chamber lies 300 metres from the exit through narrow, muddy passages as small as 60 centimetres wide. Rescuers face challenges including low oxygen supplies, contaminated air, and the trapped people's lack of diving experience.
