Rescatan vivos a 8 mineros atrapados en Coahuila tras falla mecánica

Overview

  • A mechanical failure of the winch system (malacate) jammed the canastilla and blocked the shaft at the El Mezquite arrastre mine in Sabinas.
  • The Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social confirmed the total was eight trapped workers, rebutting early reports that ranged as high as 16.
  • Coahuila authorities ordered closure of the Drumak S.A. de C.V. operation, citing work in a restricted area and questions over authorization to extract coal.
  • STPS and Protección Civil initiated inspections and a workplace-safety probe, with a diagnostic expected in the coming weeks.
  • The miners were brought to the surface around 23:00 after a coordinated response by Protección Civil, Guardia Nacional, SEDENA and Bomberos; all were assessed by IMSS and reported stable.
