Storyline


Six miners died and five others were rescued from a flooded coal mine in north China's Shanxi Province, said rescue headquarters early Wednesday.

Eleven miners were trapped when the flooding occurred at 23:40 Monday in a pit of Dongyu Coal Mine in Qingxu County near Taiyuan, capital of the coal-rich province.

The rescue operation ended in the early hours on Wednesday. The five survivors are receiving medical checkups and treatment.

One survivor Zhang Yong recounted what happened.

"There was a loud noise, and then came the dusts. I couldn't see anything and had to fumble my way along. Later there was a lot of water, huge flood," said Zhang.

Zhang said he was flooded away, but he grasped a shelf and climbed up to shy away from the flood. Minutes later, the flood seemed to have weakened, then Zhang tried to walk out of the mine, but only found there was no way out.

"So I had to walk back, and found a high ground to stay. I met with three people on my way up and the four of us waited for rescue in the enclosed chamber," said Zhang.

The cause of the flooding is under investigation.

The coal mine is owned by the privately run Shanxi Meijin Energy Co., Ltd.
