May 20 - It seems 44 miners have been trapped in a flooded coal mine in
Zuoyun County, north China's Shanxi Province, rescuers said Saturday
night.
A total of 145 miners were working underground when the flooding accident
took place on Thursday night, and 101 managed to escape, rescuers said.
Local safety authorities had reported earlier that five miners were
trapped. In this sense, the actual situation of the accident was covered
up, according to Gong Anku, head of the Shanxi Provincial Bureau of Work
Safety.
Miners who survived the flooding confirmed that more than five miners
were working underground when the accident happened.
Nine managerial persons of the coal mine have been detained by the
police. However, the head of the coal mine has gone into hiding.
Some managerial staff of the coal mine had rented taxis to transfer
family members of the trapped miners to the Inner Mongolia Autonomous
Region, Shanxi's close neighbor, to prevent them from rioting and
speaking to the press, the miners said.
The flooding took place at 8:30 p.m. Thursday at Xinjing Coal Mine, a
legal township coal producing entity in Zuoyun County, northern Shanxi.
The mine has an annual production capacity of 90,000 tons.
Nearly 200 rescuers are working at the mine site. The cause of the
flooding is being investigated.
