<p>Rescuers have drilled through to the main tunnel at the New Zealand coal mine where 29 miners were caught in a methane-fuelled explosion last week.</p>
<p>They have not been heard from since.</p>
<p>The drill hole, reaching 530 feet into the mine, has broken through, causing &#8220;hot air and gases to rush up,&#8221; Pike River Coal chairman John Dow said.</p>
<p>Rescuers began immediately sampling gas rising from the hole, located near where some miners were working when the blast happened on Friday.</p>
<p>Rescuers plan to put a video camera down the hole to look for signs of the missing miners.</p>
