Drawn by Gold, Drowned in Mud: Typhoon Kills Philippine Miners

Police carry a body recovered from the landslide in Itogon, in the northern Philippines, on Monday, Sept. 17, 2018. Emergency workers recovered 43 bodies from the muddied wreckage of a gold miners’ bunkhouse after Typhoon Mangkhut set off a landslide, burying the remote northern town of Itogon in a river of debris and potentially doubling the country’s death toll, officials said on Monday.
