Operation to rescue 10 miners will become possible once"97 percent of the water" is extracted from the mine in Agujita town of northern Coahuila state, officials say.Mexican authorities have said they are finally in a position to begin searching a flooded coal mine, where 10 workers have been trapped for more than a week, offering fresh hope to anguished relatives.
Velazquez said the rescue operation would become possible once "97 percent of the water" has been extracted from the nearly 60-metre deep mine in the town of Agujita in the northern state of Coahuila. On Thursday, rescuers had made several attempts to go into the main tunnels but found debris blocking their way that needed to be removed.
The other two shafts still have 3.9 and 4.7 metres of water. Authorities consider 1.5 metres to be an acceptable water level to gain access to the crudely constructed El Pinabete mine.The government's latest announcement provided a new glimmer of hope for families that have become increasingly frustrated with the pace of the rescue operation.
