Five miners remained missing in the latest disaster to strike Russia's hardscrabble coal coun try. “Most likely, they will all be corpses,” said the head of a com mission dealing with the disaster. The blast occurred early Saturday about 1,840 feet down in the Taizhina mine in a coal- rich strip of western Siberia called the Kuzbass. On Sunday, emergency offi cials plotted rescue and recovery strategies at one end of the mine’s Soviet-era administration building, which is topped by a red star, while grieving relatives sat or milled nervously in a run down auditorium dominated by a painting of a strong, smiling miner carrying flowers. “They told me to wait,” said Tatyana Fatykhova, 34, whose husband, Rashid, was under ground when the blast occurred. “They’ve pulled up some bodies, but they haven’t identi fied them yet.” TH Emergency officials plotted rescue and recovery strategies a day after a methane blast tore through a Siberian mine, killing at least 42 miners.
