●Beaconsfield Mine collapse - Wikipedia より抜粋；

　　−−−The Beaconsfield Mine collapse occurred on 25 April 2006 in Beaconsfield, Tasmania, Australia. Of the 17 people who were in the mine at the time, 14 escaped immediately following the collapse, one was killed and the remaining two were found alive after five days using a remote-controlled device. These two miners were rescued on 9 May 2006, two weeks after being trapped nearly a kilometre below the surface.

　　※ この事故で救出されたもうおひと方 Todd Russell さんも今回の事故後、ラジオインタビューに応えています。
