Bogota, March 29 (Inditop.com/EFE) Eight miners, who were trapped inside a gold mine in Segovia town in Colombia, have been rescued.
The miners were found Saturday by rescue teams and were in good condition despite a lack of fresh air, John Fredy Rendon Roldan, director of Colombia’s Antioquia Provincial Disaster Response Department, said Sunday.
The miners were trapped when an electric transformer exploded Friday at the mine.
At least 32 people were working at the mine at the time of the blast, of whom 24 were rescued by emergency workers.
