Hi, Bill.
It's the Calabacillas mine, about 10 km of dirt roads from San Joaquin,
Queretaro. It's a mercury mine that has been abandoned for 40 years.
Apparently four persons were checking it out looking for ore, and a
collapse carried two of them. The passage is being described as a
steeply descending with a pit at the end. As of this morning's report,
the bodies had not been reached yet, there were preparations for
dropping the pit or reaching from another passage the area where the
bodies are presumed to be.
There have been no further reports from the area. I would hate to have
to work on a rescue in an old, abandoned mine. I hope that everything
goes well and my thoughts are with the rescuers (Protección Civil and
Espeleo Rescate México) and the families of the deceased.

Subject: [NSSwest] Ongoing rescue in Mexico
Good morning.
This morning the Mexican Cave Rescue group received a call for help in
Queretaro, in central Mexico. There is not much information, but 2 or 3
people could be trapped. Right now a small team is en route to get more
information and evaluate the needs.
