Rescuers on Wednesday recovered the last of 28 miners killed last week when an underground room of a giant Indonesian gold and copper mine collapsed, the operator of the U.S.-owned facility said. Thirty-eight workers had been undergoing safety training inside the Big Gossan facility in the province of Papua when the roof collapsed May 14. Ten injured miners were rescued, according to a report of the Associated Press. A statement from PT Freeport Indonesia said its 200-member Emergency Response Team worked round the clock in narrow tunnels and loose rock before finally recovering and identified the last victim early Wednesday. "We continue to grieve with the families even as we close this grim chapter of the Big Gossan incident," said Rozik B. Soetjipto, president director of the company. "There is still much to do for us to provide the best care and support for the injured and the families of the bereaved."
