The orphans of the 65 miners who died in a disaster in Pasta de Conchos, Coahuila, are now teenagers. Nine years ago, when the mine exploded, they did not understand the tragedy. Now, they understand the meaning of death and sadness has followed them through life. Since they have no graves to cry at, they embrace the wooden crosses that every year they place in front of the Mexico Mining Industry Building, where they have mass and demand the bodies be rescued. Some young people were interviewed there. Martha Elena Ramírez hosts this edition from Mexico City.
Guests (pretaped interviews): Leonela Barbosa, Sonia Esperanza y José Luis Calvillo Godina, Cloete, Sabinas, Coahuila; Eva Díaz, La Florida, Múzquiz, Coahuila; (audio segment) Andrea Rendón. www.poresopropongo.mx
