FREWRIAN
OSINNIKL Russia — The
coal-blackened faces of exhaust
ed rescuers and the red-rimmed
eyes of anxious relatives told a
grim story of disappearing hope
Sunday, a day after a methane
blast tore through a Siberian
mine, killing at least 42 miners.
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.”

The head of a government

the disaster. Sergei Ovanesyan,
said it was “practically impossi

“Most likely, they will all be
corpses,” he said.
Of the 42 bodies found, 36
had been retrieved and 29 of
those had been identified, said
