Nineteen Polish miners were rescued on Wednesday after being trapped 2,000 feet underground for eight hours when an earthquake caused the tunnel to collapse. A spokesman for the owner of the mine, KGHM, said the rescue was difficult because “huge amounts of rocks had to be removed.” One miner had a minor head wound, but the rest were cleared to go home. Accidents are fairly uncommon at the mine, located in Rudna, about 430 miles southwest of Warsaw.
