URUMQI, Dec. 19 (Chinese media) -- Five people were rescued on Friday after being
trapped for more than a day by a coal mine cave-in in northwest China, the local
coal industry regulator said.
The rescue operation finished just before 8 a.m. when all miners were
removed from the Chenxingyuan Coal Mine in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region,
northwest China, according to the Xinjiang coal industry supervision
administration.
None were injured, as they were trapped far from the cave-in, but they were
sent for exams at a local hospital.
The mine collapsed at about 6 a.m. on Thursday when six people were working
underground. One worker managed to escape.
The private mine, in the Midong District here in the capital of Xinjiang,
was licensed. It produces about 90,000 tons of coal a year.
The accident remains under investigation.
