Rescuers carry the body of one of the miners trapped in a flooded gold mine in the northern mountain region September 25, 2008. Rescuers found two bodies inside an abandoned mine in the Philippines on Thursday but search operations were suspended due to heavy rain, officials said, and hope of finding survivors was fading. Local government and police officials said the chance of survival for the 14 people still trapped in the flooded gold mine in the northern mountain region were fast fading three days after the tunnels collapsed due to rains brought by Typhoon Hagupit.
