Third Worker Pulled Alive From Nepal Tunnel

Rescuers in Nepal pulled a Chinese national alive from a hydropower tunnel on Saturday, 10 days after catastrophic floods hit the country, Reuters reported.

It is the third worker brought out of the Trishuli hydropower project alive, The Independent reported. Reuters reported the rescue came a day after two Nepalis were pulled out of the same tunnel system.

CNN, citing the Nepali army, reported crews rescued a man from a tunnel 10 days after the floods on the Nepal-China border. The Independent attributed the rescue to the prime minister's office.

The Associated Press reported that rescuers pulled a Chinese national and a woman alive on the same day.

One Discrepancy, Flagged

Sources do not agree on who is who. Reuters, CNN, The Independent and the AP describe the person rescued from the tunnel as a Chinese national, with a woman rescued separately.

The Sun reported it the other way: a man pulled from the hydropower tunnel, and a woman — described by The Sun as the Chinese national — saved from a house in flood-hit Nuwakot.

The Frank is going with the majority account and naming the outlier rather than smoothing it over.
