    Police say there was a second massive explosion in the Pike River mine today, where 29 miners are trapped.

    Superintendent Gary Knowles told the Herald the miners couldn't have survived a blast of that magnitude, which occurred at 2.37pm.

    Family members were seen crying as they left a police briefing a short time ago.
