Miners alive after 25 days underground
(Agencies)
Updated: 2009-07-13 13:57 Three Chinese miners survived for 25 days trapped underground by licking water off the walls of their coal mine, media reports said on Sunday.
The buried miners eventually caught sight of a rescuer's flashlight and shouted, enabling searchers to follow the sound to the pit where they lay, CCTV said.
The three miners, in their mid-30s, were in a stable condition when they were lifted from the mine earlier on Sunday and could communicate in simple sentences, CCTV said. Only one was able to walk. They were administered an IV drip but were not strong enough to be taken to hospital immediately. |
