COLOMBIA-MINE-ACCIDENT
Workers wit an excavator remove the sludge during the rescue of a group of miners in a gold mine that collapsed in San Antonio, rural area of Santander de Quilichao, department of Cauca, Colombia, on May 2, 2014, where independent miners were carrying out an unauthorized digging. A collapse at one of Colombia's many unlicensed mines has killed three people and left another 13 missing under tons of mud and rock, rescue officials said Thursday. As anguished relatives looked on from behind a security perimeter 24 hours after the tragedy in western Colombia, six backhoes clawed at the earth to try to get to the missing. Both men and women are among the missing, said Alexander Sanchez of the Red Cross in western Cauca state, who revised the initial missing toll of 30. "It will be hard to find survivors," Sanchez said. AFP PHOTO/Luis Robayo
