People's Daily Canberra, November 19 (Reporter Chen Xiaowei) According to the "Australian" reported on the 18th, New Zealand investigators said that a mining disaster 11 years ago took 29 New Zealanders' lives, and the remains of at least 2 victims have been found, but it is unlikely to carry out recovery operations.

The 2010 accident at the Pike River mine was one of New Zealand's worst mining disasters, and authorities repeatedly tried to search for and launch criminal investigations. The crash is believed to be caused by an explosion caused by methane buildup, and only 2 of the 31 miners survived. The collapse of the tunnel has led to a near-abrupt halt to the search for remains and more evidence of the disaster, but experts are now able to drill holes to collect images of the deepest parts of the mine.

Police said they had found 2 human remains and possibly a third, but it was not possible to identify the remains at this time. Due to the location restrictions, the remains may be difficult to recover in the short term.
