Eight cave explorers looking for gold in Laos had to be rescued when the narrow path they were traveling got flooded. That harrowing mission was captured on surveillance video, making it the lead story in the latest edition of Surveillance Videos of the Week.
Other clips this week explore a recent trend by so-called “treasure hunters” in Brooklyn and Queens who were spotted climbing out of sewers in those boroughs, a deadly explosion at a paper mill in Washington that killed 11 people and a fireworks factory explosion in Malta.
One of the biggest stories of the week across the U.S. was the series of sonic booms, meteor explosions and fireballs. As you might imagine, those rare occurrences made for some spectacular videos!
