| 2018-12-24 |
| [SA Today] A rescue team had to suspend its descent to recover workers who remain blocked in a mine in the Russian city of Solikamsk, the Perm Territory, while being just 10 meters (33 feet) away from their probable location due to high temperature and smoke, the commander of a paramilitary rescue squad said Saturday. "During the fifth descent, mine rescuers ‐ due to temperature and gas conditions ‐ could not move to the canopy, where people are presumably located, being just 10 meters away," Alexey Pestov said. Later, the rescues began the sixth attempt to recover the miners, spokeswoman for the Perm Territory’s government Daria Levchenko told Sputnik. According to Levchenko, little hope has been left of the possibility that the miners would be found alive. |
