In India, at least nine miners are dead and two dozen more feared trapped under mud after a massive landslide at an open-pit coal mine in the country’s east. Rescuers said their efforts to reach the miners were delayed for hours due to bad weather and poor visibility. India is the world’s third-largest producer of coal and is on track to overtake the U.S. in coal consumption by 2030.
