AMAGA, Colombia — Authorities held out little hope Friday for the dozens of workers trapped after an explosion ripped through a coal mine, killing at least 18 during a shift change.

At least 50 workers remained unaccounted for a day and a half after the explosion. Rescue efforts were moving slowly, impeded by the presence of dangerous gases, officials said. Authorities think a methane gas buildup caused Wednesday night’s explosion.
