29 Miners Die In New Zealand
----------------------------



In New Zealand, 29 miners are believed to be dead five days after being
trapped underground in a massive explosion. Rescuers used robots and
electronic devices to explore for life in the mine, but there were no
signs that any one had survived the initial blast. Earlier today, a
16-man rescue team prepared to possibly enter the mine when a second
massive explosion occurred.
