Trapped dozens of arcade workers remain mine in the North Mexico for a week after part of it collapsed. A soldier entered the flooded mine gallery for only a few moments.
AFP journalists saw the soldier, equipped with an oxygen tank and a mask, but wearing his uniform – not a diving suit – descend into one of the galleries in a metal basket, before it resurfaces minutes later.
Governor Miguel Riquelme said via Twitter that an army diver entered the mine’s portico number 4 but encountered obstacles and was unable to proceed.
The coordinator of Civil Protection Laura Velaskes said earlier that the members of the rescue crews are “ready” to enter the coal mine “at any time”, at a depth of 60 meters, after exploration with an underwater drone.
Hundreds of members of rescue crews, including divers of the armed forces, as reported by APE-MPE, were mobilized in the operation with the aim of locating the missing miners. The relatives’ hopes that they will be found alive fade as time passes.
According to the authorities, the miners were carrying out excavation work when a groundwater well was drilled.
The state of Coahuila, practically the only one where coal is mined in Mexico, has seen a series of fatal mining accidents over the years. The worst occurred on February 19, 2006, when 65 miners were killed in a gas explosion at Pasta de Conchos.
