Australian cave diver Josh Richards is leading rescue operations in a remote Laotian cave system searching for two missing gold miners. Four miners have already been successfully extracted from the flooded cave system, which features extremely narrow passages that require rescuers to remove helmets and squeeze through with faces partially submerged in water. The rescue teams are battling rising floodwaters whilst attempting to locate the remaining two miners, whose families are waiting anxiously at the mine entrance.
