Families and friends began burying loved ones on Thursday who were among at least 16 people killed in the collapse of an illegally operated gold mine in a remote area of central Venezuela. The tributes come as anger mounts at the government's slow response helping the injured and recovering bodies from Tuesday’s accident — one of the worst in a poorly regulated mining industry that has soared as the OPEC nation's oil production dwindled. As mourners filled the cemetery in La Paragua, the community closest to the remote mine, dozens of residents gathered outside a restaurant where they believed the state's governor was dining.
