Coal Mine Disaster in China

ANCHOR:
Another coal mining accident in China to tell you about. 17 miners are trapped in an underground mine in the city of Yuzhou in Henan Province. Here's more on the story.

STORY:
On Sunday sixty-two miners were working underground when their pit was flooded with water. 38 miners managed to escape by themselves and another seven were rescued. It is the latest in a string of accidents to plague China -- home to the world's deadliest coal-mining industry.

As water was pumped out of the pit, gas fumes also began to rise... making rescue work more difficult and dangerous.

A string of explosions at coal mines across the country, in recent days, have killed dozens of Chinese miners and left a number of them missing.

China is the world's largest producer and consumer of coal. In 2007 alone, approximately 3,800 Chinese coal miners died in gas blasts, flooding, and other related accidents.

you must be listening to another video cause that's not what I heard. He's saying his own words and he may have a bit of Aus ascent but he could be from anywhere in SE Asia to get that accent.

You need to get out more.
