Washed away, declared dead, and found alive: How two men survived the Amochhu flood

Phuentsholing—As the waters of the Amochhu swelled, the sand hill beneath them began to crumble. Standing on what was once firm ground, Tashi Dendup and Phurba Tshering exchanged a final wave before making a decision that would test their endurance and faith—they would swim through the raging current to survive. Moments later, both men disappeared into the river.
