All the fatalities had suffered severe burns.
Rescue team coordinator Alexander Tarigan said his squad was encountering difficulties in attempting to locate the missing miners because of the high methane levels, which had reached 1 percent of the air volume — four times the tolerable limit of 0.25 percent. (ewd)
