The latest mining accident in China. This time it's in Meikou City, Jilin Province. 16 miners remain trapped inside. And a thick layer of mud and water in the mine is making the rescue work difficult.
No communication has been established.
There are no details on what may have caused the flood.
More than 100 people died in a gas blast at a mine in Heilongjiang Province on November 21.
Lax safety standards and strong demand for resources makes China's mines the most dangerous in the world.
Official figures state that at least 3,000 workers died in mine accidents alone in 2008.
think of how much of an idiot you have to be to take a mining job in China - given that any chinese can learn practically anything on the internet - yet choosing not to because of tradition and culture - instead they just stay uneducated and stupid and take jobs like this - they can not make their own work - they are very retarded people (maybe inbreeding is a problem here)
