Anger in Chile over ruling on 2010 mine collapse

An investigation into the 2010 accident in Chile that left 33 miners trapped underground for more than two months has failed to find anyone responsible.

The case was closed after a prosecutor said there was not enough evidence to press charges against either the owners of the mine or regulators.

One of the miners said it was a "disgrace for justice" while a former minister called it "unbelievable".

The miners' rescue in a special capsule was followed live around the world.
