Tas: One body found in Tassie mine, owners = 4

The miners - Todd Russell, Larry Knight and Brant (Brant) Webb - became trapped after
an earth tremor triggered a rock fall at the Beaconsfield Gold Mine at 9.30pm (AEST) on
Tuesday night.

Fourteen other miners working underground made it to a safety chamber and escaped unscathed.

A remote-controlled earthmover equipped with cameras was sent into the mine yesterday
to try to dig through to the trapped men.
