Summary Writing
Six men who have been trapped in a mine for seventeen hours may lose their lives because rescue operations are proving difficult.
Since explosives can cause the roof of the mine to collapse, rescue workers are drilling a hole through hard rock, but the progress is slow.
Two hours ago, a microphone was lowered into the mine and the men have been in touch with their relatives.
They are running short of food and drink but they are in good spirits.
