100 feared trapped in Indonesia mine

Indonesian authorities warned yesterday 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. The accident happened in the Bolaang Mongondow region of North Sulawesi.
