javascripts: A miner listens to an update from officials on conditions and recovery efforts inside Mine #8 in San Juan de Sabinas. A gas explosion inside Mine 8 trapped and killed 65 miners. Officials from the state of Cohuila, Grupo Mexico mining company, and the miners union (Sindicato de Los Trabajadores Mineros) tried to assure surviving family members and miners that they are doing all they can to recover the miners killed in the accident and prevent future accidents. However, anger over the situation forced union president Napoleon Gomez Urrutia to resign.
