A minor in Mexico just beat the odds, you'll rescue it after nearly 14 days trapped underground in a collapsed mine in Sinaloa. Francisco's Apata-Najera survived the dam breach that flooded the El Rosario mine on March 25 and authorities pulled him out safe on Wednesday. Of the 25 miners there when it hit, 21 got out right away. Rescuers grabbed another survivor five days in from 300 meters deep, but Zapata was stuck longer in the heavy flood waters. President Claudia Scheinbaum confirmed one other miner was found dead, with one still missing. She noted teams had to wait on pubbing out water before the final push. Divers spotted Zapata on Tuesday, but it took 21 more hours to reach him through the mess. They stabilized him quick and airlifted him by Mexican Air Force chopper to a specialist hospital in Mazatlan. These rescues spotlight Mexico's rough mining history from the 10 loss in a 2022 flood to 65 in a 2006.
Blast reminder, safety's got to level up as searches go on. That's your update from Canada News today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story.
