Gas tank repairers poisoned, 4 still trapped

POISONOUS coal gas inside a large container in a steel plant in Nanjing, capital of eastern Jiangsu Province caused 12 repairmen to faint around noon today. Eight have been brought out and the other four were still trapped as of 1:40pm.

These workers were examining the container in the city's Meishan Iron and Steel Plant as gas was leaking from a faulty valve, China National Radio has reported.

Rescuers are now blowing fresh air into the container to reduce coal gas density and find ways to get the four stranded workers out, it said.
