Rescuers pull 29 from flooded coal mine in China

None

All 29 miners trapped in a flooded Chinese coal mine were lifted to safety Monday, ending a daylong rescue drama, state media reported.

 

The miners were trapped Sunday morning after the small Batian mine in southwest China's Sichuan province suddenly flooded. Rescuers initially thought only 28 were trapped but made contact with the workers Monday and revised the figure upward to 29. (AP)
