Hundreds of Bitcoin Cash Are Stuck in Segwit Addresses

Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of BCH is languishing in segwit addresses. The funds were mistakenly sent there by users who have no easy way of differentiating segwit and non-segwit addresses. Retrieving the funds is difficult, but not entirely impossible, as p2sh.infos Antoine Le Calvez has revealed. Hes discovered whats believed to be the first successful bitcoin cash recovery, aided by the miners who confirmed the transaction.

aren't SegWit addresses starting with the new format called BECH using BIP173. in other words these addresses start with "BC1" how do you send bitcoin cash to an address that looks like this:
Code:
bc1pw508d6qejxtdg4y5r3zarvary0c5xw7kw508d6qejxtdg4y5r3zarvary0c5xw7k7grplx
the wallet should reject it!
