No communication yet with 29 trapped NZ miners

Twenty-nine miners trapped in a remote New Zealand coal mine had still not made any contact with rescuers on Saturday, a day after an explosion ripped through the colliery, New Zealand authorities said.

Mine owner Pike River Coal revised up the number of miners underground to 29, from initial reports of 27, as rescue teams prepared to enter the mine, waiting for an all-clear that the mine is safe to enter. (Reuters)
