1,800 trapped underground in South Africa platinum mine – reports

Some 1,800 workers have been trapped in a platinum mine in South Africa after a major shaft was blocked. They remain 1.5km underground but are said to have supplies necessary for survival.

The miners found themselves trapped underground after a haul of rails, transported through the major shaft of the facility, fell down and blocked it, according to media reports.

The Sibanye Gold company, which operates the mine, believes that no one has been injured during the incident. The workers were about to end their shift and had gathered at pick-up points some a mile below the surface just before the incident.
