Mine collapse in northeastern Spain leaves 3 workers trapped
MADRID (AP) — Authorities in Spain say that three workers are trapped 900 meters (3,000 feet) underground in a potash mine in the northeastern Catalonia region. The three were working at the Cabanasses de Súria mine around 80 kilometers (50 miles) from Barcelona. A police official said that land collapsed inside the mine just before 9 a.m. (0800 GMT; 3 a.m. EST). A rescue mission was underway to rescue the workers. The mine is operated by the Iberpotash company and owned by Tel Aviv-based ICL Group.
