Mexico races to rescue three miners trapped after Sinaloa dam collapse

A tailings dam collapsed on March 25 in Sinaloa, Mexico, trapping multiple miners underground. Over 350 rescue personnel have been working since then; one miner was rescued March 30, 21 escaped unharmed, but three remain trapped as of April 6. The incident highlights infrastructure vulnerabilities at mining operations in Mexico and risks to worker safety in Latin America's extractive industries. Rescue efforts continue with international attention on whether the three remaining miners will be recovered alive.
