At least one Laos gold miner has been brought out of a flooded cave where monsoon rains trapped a group for over a week, according to a Laotian rescue organization. Rescue Volunteer for People said on social media that a person, who was not named, was brought out safely at 8:37 p.m. local time on Friday. It was not immediately clear how the miner was rescued. The organization said their name would be announced later. Seven artisanal gold miners have been in the cave for nine days. Five of the seven miners were located, and two remain missing. Conditions inside the cave are dangerous and complex. Even before the flooding due to monsoon rains, it was nearly impossible to get in and out of the cave.

But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
