China: save eleven trapped miners for …

Search agents rescued this Sunday in China, eleven of 22 miners who were trapped 600 meters deep for two weeks after an explosion in the gold mine where they worked, according to CCTV.

Several state media broadcast the rescue of the first one, who, after taking him to the surface, had to be transferred with assistance to an ambulance, as he did not even have the strength to stand up.

Since the explosion that occurred on January 10 in this gold mine in Qixia, in the province of Shandong, rescuers are trying to rescue workers stranded several hundred meters underground.

TV footage showed a huge drilling machine lifting a wheelbarrow with rescuers and a masked man to the surface.

Drilling operations are complicated by the geological structure of the soil, made up of particularly hard rocks such as granite.

Of the 22 workers trapped in this mine, located in the city of Yantai, in the east of the country, only ten were contacted, while it was confirmed that one died from a blow to the head.

The more than 600 rescuers hope to bring out a few more workers in the afternoon of this Sunday, while it remains to locate the ten other missing minors.

According to the communications they maintained with the rest of the survivors, they are in good physical condition and by means of a wire rope which descended through a conduit drilled in the rock, they were first sent nutritional solutions. and supplements and finally food.
