牵头救援潜水员米科·帕西告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，被困在老挝一处被洪水淹没溶洞中的4名金矿矿工已于周六“自行获救”。这4名矿工逃出溶洞的前一天，另一名矿工通过高风险操作被救出溶洞。
“我们刚准备下水，他们就已经出来了，”帕西告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻首席记者马特·古特曼，“这些小伙子自己走出来的。”
帕西表示，这4名矿工发现水位下降后便决定采取行动。他们“看到了爬出去的机会”并“抓住了它”，他说道。矿工们浑身沾满泥浆、惊魂未定，但都还活着。
目前仍有2名矿工下落不明，恶劣天气下的搜寻工作仍在继续。近两周前，7名矿工一同进入溶洞后被洪水困住。救援人员于周三在溶洞5个已知洞穴中最深处的一个内找到了5名矿工。在找到他们后，救援潜水员为他们送去了食物和补给，并绘制了溶洞地图以制定救援计划。
周五第一名被困矿工被救出后，帕西和其他救援人员整晚都在操作抽水机排出溶洞系统内的积水。周六早上，当救援潜水员穿戴装备再次下水评估剩余矿工的救援条件时，他们与这4名男子正面相遇了。
“我花了好一会儿才反应过来这是真的，在清点人数。比如，他们是3个都出来了，还是4个都出来了？”帕西说道。
帕西表示，矿工们受到了欢呼、拥抱，现场气氛如同派对一般。他将那一刻形容为“十分暖心”。
“这无疑是我们坚持下去的原因，”帕西说道。
如今，救援人员将继续搜寻剩下的2名失踪矿工，他们被认为已经遇难。据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻此前报道，这两人可能位于第六个洞穴，只能通过其他5名矿工所在区域的一处狭窄缝隙进入。帕西表示，该洞穴太小，他无法进入，但其他潜水员将尝试探查该区域。
帕西称，救援队一致同意继续搜寻剩余的被困人员。他表示，他们将继续抽水，试图排干整个溶洞系统，希望能够进入那个第六个洞穴。
“我们一致同意‘好的，现在我们要去找到那两名失踪人员’，”帕西说道，“我们不能就此止步。我们已经来到这里，所有人都已集结就绪，一切准备妥当。”

Rescue diver details “very heartwarming” moments after 4 miners emerged from Laos cave

Four of the gold miners trapped in a flooded cave in Laos “self-rescued” on Saturday, lead rescue diver Mikko Paasi told CBS News. Their escape from the cave came one day after a fifth miner was pulled from the cave in a risky maneuver.
“We were just getting ready to come in and they’re already coming out,” Paasi told CBS News chief correspondent Matt Gutman. “The guys came out by themselves.”
Paasi said that the four miners had noticed the water level dropping and decided to act. They “saw the opportunity” to crawl out and “took it,” he said. The miners were muddy and shaken, but alive.
Two miners remain missing, and efforts to locate them continue amid inclement weather. All seven miners were in the cave together when they became trapped by floodwaters almost two weeks ago. The rescuers found the five miners in the furthest of the cave’s five known chambers on Wednesday. Rescue divers were able to bring food and supplies to them once they were located, and map the cave to prepare a rescue plan.
After the first miner in the chamber was rescued on Friday, Paasi and other rescuers kept pumps working all night to remove water from the cave system. When the rescue divers suited up to re-enter the cave Saturday morning to assess conditions for attempting to rescue the remaining miners, they came face-to-face with the four men.
“It took me a while to understand that this is really happening, and counting. Like, are they all three, all four here?” Paasi said.
The miners were greeted with cheers, hugs and a party-like atmosphere, Paasi said. He described the moment as “very heartwarming.”
“It’s the reason that we keep on doing this for sure,” Paasi said.
Now, the rescuers will work to find the two miners who remain missing and are feared dead. They may be in a sixth chamber accessible only through a narrow gap in the part of the cave where the other five miners were, CBS News previously reported. Paasi said the chamber is too small for him to enter, but that other divers will attempt to explore it.
Paasi said the rescue team is in agreement about continuing to search for the remaining men. They will continue to pump out water to attempt to drain the entire cave system, he said, with the hope that they will be able to enter that sixth chamber.
“We agreed that ‘OK, now we’re going to go and find the missing two,’” Paasi said. “We can’t stop here. We are already here. We got everybody around here, everything is set.”
