Mine workers sit around a pit in Manyara region in Tanzania
Mine workers sit around a pit where three of their colleagues remained trapped underground after floods swept through pits in Manyara region, which is the only place where the blue gemstone tanzanite is found in Tanzania March 31,2008. Hopes are slim of finding 66 miners trapped in gemstone pits that flooded in northern Tanzania over the weekend, a local legislator said on Monday. Rescue workers have said they found several bodies on Sunday in the privately-owned mine in Mererani, which was flooded on Saturday after a heavy seasonal downpour. REUTERS/Antony Njuguna (TANZANIA)
