Rescuers race to reach seven villagers trapped for a week in flooded Laos cave

Cave divers are squeezing through narrow, flooded corridors in a delicate operation to reach seven villagers trapped underground in a cave in Laos for nearly a week. The villagers went into the cave in the central Laotian province of Xaisomboun last Wednesday in search of gold, but heavy rain triggered flash flooding which blocked the exit. Authorities are unsure whether they are still alive. CNN's Mike Valerio reports on the conditions rescue workers are operating in.
