Five of seven people trapped in a flooded cave for a week in Laos were found alive on Wednesday, Laotian and Thai rescuers said. Seven Laotian villagers entered the cave in central Xaysomboun province on May 20. They were searching for gold but instead got trapped after heavy rain triggered flash flooding, blocking their exit.
