Operation under way to rescue trapped miners from South African gold mine

Rescuers have hoisted illegal miners and several bodies from an abandoned gold mine in South Africa, where reports emerge that hundreds may be trapped and at least 100 may have already died. A professional mine rescue company sent a large cage into the mine shaft near Stilfontein, about 140km (90 miles) southwest of Johannesburg, on Monday. Al Jazeera’s Rylee Carlson reports.
