Relatives of Mexican miners ready to help rescuers

Relatives of the trapped miners in Mexico are increasingly desperate as time passes since the accident. A cousin of two trapped miners, said they remained hopeful as some fellow miners believe to be air pockets where the miners could have hidden safely since Wednesday.
The collapse occurred after the miners breached a neighboring area filled with water on Wednesday. Authorities have not reported any contact with the trapped miners since the collapse. The miners are trapped between two 200 ft deep mine shafts more than half flooded with water. Civil Defense Coordinator said that five miners had managed to escape the collapse three of them remained hospitalized.
