15 trapped in shaft in Spanish Canary islands
Agence France-Presse report that fifteen people were trapped underground in a shaft on the Spanish island of Tenerife and rescuers were having difficulty evacuating them. The shaft, known as the "Piedra de los Cochinos" or Pig's Stone (photos) is in the locality of Los Silos, on the north of Tenerife. Local news reports indicate that the number, probably tourists, may be almost 20 and that they remain trapped. Civil Guard mountain rescue teams have been mobilized to the scene.
