Mine Blast Kills 27 In China

ANCHOR:
And it's more bad news out of China today. On the heels of earthquakes and floods, a mine blast in China's northeastern Shanxi Province has taken the lives of 27 people and seven more people are trapped inside.

STORY:
Friday's explosion happened in the Anxin Coal Mining facility while 58 miners were working underground.

A report said "explosives" blew up at the bottom of the mine shaft, but it was not clear why the explosives were there, or why they exploded. Fifteen of the 58 miners had managed to escape, and another nine were rescued, leaving almost 30 dead and seven unaccounted for.

China has the world's deadliest mining industry, and is also the world's biggest producer and consumer of coal. Last year nearly 4,000 Chinese coal miners died in gas blasts, flooding and other accidents.

Safety violations are a major contributor to mine accidents in China, because owners often push production beyond safety limits to make more money.
