The Wider Image: Deep underground, Mexican coal miners remember those

Miner Ismael Maldonado (C), 32, waits near the entrance of a coal mine before starting his shift, in Sabinas, Mexico August 20, 2022. Miners can work dozens of meters below ground with a helmet, gloves and steel-toed boots for protection, on alert for tumbling rocks, faulty pulleys, toxic gas and underground flooding.
