Rescuers today pulled two miners out alive while 14 others remain trapped after a coal mine in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province was flooded yesterday, according to local government sources.
The two miners were escorted out of the mine at noon today before being rushed to hospital, an official from the city's publicity department told Xinhua.
A total of 22 miners were working underground when the accident happened at 11:40pm yesterday at Furuixiang Coal Mine in Qitaihe City. Six miners managed to escape.
Rescuers said they were laying conduits and installing facilities, which will start pumping water out of the pit this afternoon.
Local authorities said the flooded colliery was a licensed site operated by Furuixiang Coal Co., Ltd.
