  Liberian officials say five bodies were recovered Wednesday and 40 are still trapped in a collapsed gold mine. Officials fear those still in the pit mine in northeastern Liberia, which collapsed on Saturday, may also be dead, although some survivors have been rescued. Nimba County superintendent Dorr Cooper said miners are searching for survivors with their bare hands.

Authorities have recently attempted to close the gold mine out of safety concerns, but with Liberia’s faltering economy, miners…
