Efforts fail to rescue Welsh miners
Efforts to send divers in to find four men trapped in a flooded mine in South Wales have failed, according to rescuers.
Two specialist divers entered the mine at around 1am as part of a major rescue operation overnight to save the men trapped 90 metres (300ft) underground.
The miners have been named as Charles Bresnan, 62, David Powell, 50, and Garry Jenkins, 39, all from the Swansea Valley, and Phillip Hill, 45, from Neath.
The divers only managed to get 20 to 30 metres into the tunnel before finding their way blocked at the remote Gleision Colliery near Cilybebyll in Pontardawe, Swansea.
It is thought the water had broken through from old mine workings, causing a flash flood in the tunnel the men were working in
