Pike River Mine: Update due on manned re-entry

From Morning Report, 8:38 am on 2 May 2018

A team of experts will give an update today on the feasability of re-entering the Pike River Mine to recover the remains of the 29 miners killed there in November 2010. Thirty-one specialists have been meeting just outside Greymouth since Monday trying to nut out how a manned re-entry of the 2.3km-long entry tunnel can be done safely. Joining us from Greymouth is RNZ Christchurch reporter Conan Young.
