Five Tanzanian gold miners have been rescued after spending 41 trapped deep underground eating cockroaches and frogs to survive, the mining ministry and survivors said Tuesday, according to AFP.
The miners were among a group of around 20 that were in pit when a shaft they were working on collapsed on October 5.
While 14 escaped as the shaft collapsed, six were trapped. One of the miners died during the more than month-long incarceration underground.
The remaining five were rescued on Sunday and are reportedly in a serious condition in hospital.
