Three dead in mine collapse

three people who were trapped deep inside a Spanish potash mine when a gallery collapsed died before they could be rescued, catalan leader Pere aragones said.

“Unfortunately, we can confirm the death of three young people who were working in the mine,” aragones told reporters outside cabanasses mine in Suria, 75 kilometresnorthwest of Barcelona.

rescuers recovered and identified the bodies of three people who were “around 30 years old”, he said, sending his condolences to their families and colleagues.

one of the victims had been an intern there for just a few days, while another was working at the mine for nearly six months. the third had been there for three years, said a spokesman for icL iberia, which runs the mine.

two had been studying for master’s degrees in engineering at the University Polytechnic of catalonia (PcU), while the other was doing a doctorate in geology at the University of Barcelona, the establishments said.

rescuers said the three victims had been trapped at a depth of about 900 metres (2,950 feet) after one of the galleries collapsed just before 9am on thursday 9th March.despite frantic efforts to reach them, it was hours before rescuers got down to the place where they could confirm their deaths. the rescue was complicated by the need to ensure the safety of the teams involved, regional interior minister Joan ignasi elena had told reporters earlier, saying it would be “reckless” to rush such an operation.

Just after midday, aragones announced the deaths on twitter saying: “We deeply regret the death of the three miners in the accident in Suria mine.” are you looking for reliable and affordable insurance in Spain? then look no further than n332 insure! n332 insure is a Spanish website that helps customers find the very best insurance policies, including car, motorbike, motorhome, quad bike, scooter and moped insurance.
