Rescuers on Wednesday recovered the last of 28 miners killed last week when an underground room of a giant Indonesian gold and copper mine collapsed, the operator of the U.S.-owned facility said.
Thirty-eight workers had been undergoing safety training inside the Big Gossan facility in the province of Papua when the roof collapsed May 14. Ten injured miners were rescued.
A statement from PT Freeport Indonesia said its 200-member Emergency Response Team worked around-the-clock in narrow tunnels and loose rock before finally recovering and identifying the last victim early Wednesday.-Japan Times
