Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Wednesday, 22 November 2006, 17:03 GMT Hopes fade for 15 Polish miners The blast was probably caused by methane gas, officials said Hopes are fading of saving 15 Polish miners trapped after a gas explosion killed at least eight of their colleagues, officials have warned. Rescuers worked through the night and day to try to clear 500m (1,640ft) of rubble to reach the men trapped some 1,000m (3,300ft) underground. But they later suspended their efforts because of fears of another explosion. The blast happened at the Halemba coal mine in Ruda Slaska, southern Poland, on Tuesday afternoon. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6171264.stm Dasha: Ju/Sa/Sa/Ve/Sa satva Jorge Angelino Rua da Sociedade Filarmónica Perpétua Azeitonense, 29 2925-598 Azeitão Portugal jorge.angelino mobile: Skype ID: +351963916784 jorge_angelino Add me to your address book...
