Rescuers in frantic efforts to save trapped Turkish miners

Rescuers were struggling to reach more than 200 miners trapped underground after an explosion and fire at a coal mine in western Turkey killed at least 201 workers.

In one of the worst mining disasters in Turkish history, energy minister Taner Yildiz said 787 people were inside the coal mine in Soma at the time of the accident and 363 of them had been rescued so far.
