Laos officials believe the 7 villagers trapped in a cave while searching for gold are still alive, as day 7 of rescue operations continue despite torrential rain in the area. This week, members of the same team that rescued the 12 members of a soccer team and their coach back in 2018 arrived to assist in the efforts. Rescuers describe the thousand foot tunnel they are trying to access as less than 2 feet wide in some areas.
