Tears as mine tests show lack of oxegen

Air quality tests in a section of a Mexican coal mine where as many as 26 miners could have been working have shown there is not enough oxygen to sustain life, it was announced early today.

Although rescuers have not found any bodies in the area, the news was met with tears by family and friends waiting outside the Pasta de Conchos mine for word on the fate of the 65 miners, who have been trapped since an explosion on Sunday morning. Some shouted at officials to tell them the names of the 26 workers who could have been in the area.
