 SAN JUAN DE SABINAS, Mexico (AP) - Mexican rescuers arrived at the spot where two of 65 miners were believed to be trapped, but found no sign of them, officials said Thursday. They also said high levels of gas deeper inside the mine would make it difficult to find anyone alive.
Ruben Escudero, administrator of the Pasta de Conchos mine, told a news conference that rescuers had advanced 740 yards inside the mine, more than 110 yards beyond where two conveyor belt operators were believed to be trapped.
But he said there was no sign of the two workers, which he said meant they either had been buried under debris, or were in a different part of the mine.
