None

Rescuers raced Monday to free 153 miners trapped by a flood that may have started when workers digging a new mine in north China accidentally broke into a network of old, water-filled shafts.

 

The derelict tunnels are posing new risks to miners even as China ramps up safety in its notoriously hazardous mines. (AP)
