Up to 100 still feared trapped in Indonesia mine.
Indonesian authorities warned Monday that up to 100 people could still be trapped and feared dead inside a collapsed illegal gold mine despite a painstaking rescue effort that has so far plucked 19 people alive from the rubble, but also seen nine deaths.
While authorities said the search and rescue effort would continue for another week, they made no mention of continuing efforts to get food and water to any possible survivors. “Some say 30 people, 50, 60 people -- even 100 people, because at the time there were many in the main pit ... an unknown number in the smaller ones,” he said in a statement.
Although mechanised diggers cleared debris from the entrance of one hole on Sunday, they found no more survivors.
