(Newser) – At least three rescuers died Thursday after 11 miners were killed following a fire in a Siberian coal mine. Officials said 35 miners are still trapped underground, Reuters reports. Methane levels are too high in the mine to search for the missing. « The chance of an explosion is very high, » said Sergei Tsivilev, the regional governor. « We’ve decided to suspend the search and rescue operation until the concentration of gas reduces.
