2 bodies found in flooded China mine that traps 11

None

Rescuers found two bodies in a flooded coal shaft in northwestern China and 11 miners remained trapped Monday, a reminder of the dangers of an industry that claimed the lives of 36 others just days ago.

 

More than 100 rescuers pumped water out of the mine shaft in Jinta, a county in Gansu province, which was under construction at the time, the official Xinhua news agency said. Three miners were lifted to safety after water gushed into the mine Sunday. (AP)
