PIEDRAS NEGRAS, Mexico (AP) - The remains of one of 65 coal miners killed nearly a year ago in a mine blast have been recovered, officials in this northern Mexican state said Monday.
The remains of 63 other miners have yet to be found. In June, rescuers found the body of one other miner, but tons of wood, rock and metal have hindered the recovery efforts. The mine has been closed since the explosion on Feb. 19, 2006.
The remains were found early Sunday, half-buried under tons of scattered debris, said Sergio Robles, deputy secretary of civil protection for the state of Coahuila, where the Pasta de Conchos mine is located.
