Miraculous rescue over a week after deadly flood disaster

Nine days later and against all odds, they were pulled out, caked in mud but alive. Two workers trapped in a tunnel after those catastrophic floods had been buried deep beneath debris and layers of mud at a hydropower plant. One of the men asking his rescuers what day it was, he told them he felt it was his responsibility to save his colleagues and chose to stay behind when the water came pouring down. More than 500 workers are missing from the power plants along the river. Last week's devastating flash floods swept away entire towns and villages in a matter of seconds with authorities in Nepal overwhelmed by the scale of devastation. Danielle Hamamjian, NBC News.
