Rescuers have detected signs of life from 22 gold miners trapped underground in eastern China, a week after the workers were cut off by an explosion, state media reported.It left authorities unable to contact the workers in the mine located near Qixia city in eastern Shandong province.
Rescuers drilled down into the mine today and heard "knocking sounds", the official Xinhua news agency said, although they still "needed confirmation". Local officials plan to lower food and telephone lines into the mine, owned by the Shandong Wucailong Investment Co Ltd., which was under construction when the accident happened.Mining accidents are common in China, where the industry has a poor safety record and regulations are often weakly enforced.That came just months after 16 others died from carbon monoxide poisoning after being caught underground at another coal mine in the city.
I heard a rumour that there was an opinion poll out today? Is it not true, or will your masters not allow you to report on it? Bad news?
