SABINAS – Rescuers pulled a seventh body from a collapsed coal mine in northern Mexico yesterday as families gave up hope of finding seven other trapped workers alive after an explosion earlier this week.
Weary miners took turns round the clock to dig away rubble in the shallow mine shaft that collapsed on Tuesday after a methane gas explosion outside the town of Sabinas in the desert state of Coahuila bordering Texas.
“I’ll bring up my son’s body in pieces if I have to,” said miner Adolfo Gonzalez as he rested after an exhausting spell underground reinforcing and ventilating a tunnel to try to reach the remaining bodies. “I just want my sons body,” said Maria Antonia Rios. – (Reuters)
