11 still trapped

RESCUE efforts for 11 miners trapped for three days are being hampered by roof collapses and a dense concentration of inflammable gas in a coal mine in northeast China.

Yesterday, rescuers were still unable to reach the trapped men in the mine in Shuangyashan City, Heilongjiang Province. They are working in shifts to clear a 20-meter tunnel blocked by fallen rubble, but another section the same length lies ahead.

Fire broke out in the shaft on Saturday, trapping 11 of 13 miners working underground. The other two escaped.
