Hope dims for trapped miners
RESCUERS said yesterday they had found no sign of life four days after 13 miners were trapped under a flooded coal mine in Heilongjiang Province.
Efforts to pump water out of the mine continued, though the prime time for rescue efforts had passed, according to Peng Jianxun, deputy head of the State Administration of Coal Mine Safety.
Police have detained the boss of Jindi Coal Mine, a licensed private mine in Jidong County, who apparently tried to cover up the accident after the flood occurred on Tuesday afternoon.
The mine owner later confessed to police that 24 people were underground when the accident happened, with 11 managing to escape.
The cause of the accident is still being investigated.
