Two trapped Tasmanian miners found alive

Advertisements [?]

"Rescuers have spoken to two miners trapped underground for five days at the Beaconsfield mine in Tasmania's north.

Crowds are gathering at the mine site as efforts continue to bring Todd Russell and Brant Webb to the surface.

At this stage the condition of the two men's unclear.

They were trapped one kilometre underground after a rockfall on Tuesday night, caused by a minor earthquake.

The body of their workmate, Larry Knight, was brought to the surface on Thursday."
