A massive flood trapped 261 miners in the Wangjialing mine located at the Northern China. Reports said that 108 miners were successfully escaped from the flooded mines and 153 miners were left. These 153 miners were trapped in nine different places which was flooded with up to 5 million cubic feet of water, according to China’s state television.
Officials speculated that the possible cause of the massive flood on the mine is that maybe the miners accidentally broke a network of water-filled shafts. And some escaped miners confirmed the speculation of the officials and also said that the rushing of the water was like a huge tidal wave in the mine. It was indeed a terrible accident.
Right now, the government of China is doing their best to rescue the 153 remaining coal miners left in the flooded area. What we can do now is to pray for them.
More updates, soon.
