The gas blast occurred at 2:52 a.m. Friday in the mine of Jinhe Coal Mining Co., Ltd in Jiuqing Town, Xingwen County, when 44 miners were working underground, the Sichuan Provincial Work Safety Administration said. Only 26 emerged from the pit after the accident, and rescuers are still searching the missing. Sichuan's vice governor Li Chenyun has rushed to the site to direct rescue work. The licensed township mine has an annual production capacity of 90,000 tonnes. On Thursday, a mine gas explosion in northeastern Liaoning Province killed 27 people and injured six. |
