2010-03-01 11:17:31 - Flood - China EDIS CODE: FL-20100301-25160-CHN
Date & Time: 2010-03-01 11:17:31 [UTC]
Area: China, Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region, Mt. Camel Coal Mine, Wuhai Missing person(s): 31
Damage level: Moderate (Level 2)
Not confirmed information! Description: Rescuers worked to save 31 coal miners trapped underground by a flood early Monday in northern China, state media reported. Although China's mine safety record has improved in recent years, it is still the deadliest in the world, with blasts and other accidents common. Rescuers pumped water from the Mt. Camel Coal Mine in Wuhai city in the northern region of Inner Mongolia, where the flood trapped the miners earlier in the day. An initial investigation showed 46 of the 77 miners working in the flooded pit were rescued and 31 remain trapped, it said. Calls to the Wuhai city government office rang unanswered Monday. An earlier report posted on the Work Safety Administration Web site said 44 people were missing.
