Death at Vulcan mine sparks Newcastle disaster
A massive explosion at the Vulcan coal mine near Newcastle, Colorado, early yesterday morning traps miners and devastates homes. Estimates place dead and missing from 50 to 70, with 65 likely, as rescuers battle toxic gas and debris while fans are built to restore air. Only Edward Walsh escaped the blast, later dying from injuries. Authorities and company crews rushed to the site, digging through collapsed tunnels and recovering remains as investigations seek cause amid long standing underground fires in the region.
