THE flooding of the Jiangjiawan underground coal mine in Shanxi province over the weekend has claimed at least 16 lives out of the 24 workers initially missing.
Chinese media reported that more than 600 rescue workers pumped water and drilled holes from the surface to help rescue the trapped miners at the Datong Coal Mine Group-owned colliery.
An estimated 1.6 million gallons (6.05 million litres) of water was pumped out by Tuesday afternoon.
There were 247 miners underground when water from a mined out area flooded the colliery on Sunday evening, with 223 safely evacuating afterwards.
The mine’s annual production capacity is 900,000 tonnes per annum.
