JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — A natural stones quarry in Indonesia’s
West Java province collapsed on several people who were working
inside on Friday, killing at least two people and leaving
several workers missing, officials said.
At least 10 people were trapped in the rubble when the mine in
Cirebon district collapsed, West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi
estimated in a video statement, and rescuers have retrieved at
least two bodies.
The exact number of casualties was still unclear as local
television reported rescuers were able to pull at least a dozen
injured people from the debris and recover bodies during a
grueling search effort.
Police, emergency personnel, soldiers and volunteers were trying
to locate any remaining worker. Their efforts were hampered by
unstable soil that risked further slides, the television report
said.
