rescued after more than 30 hours, with crews lifting them out in rapid
succession, state television reported today.
The miners emerged from the mine one after another and were loaded on
gurneys, as state television broadcast the event live from Sichuan province.
The crowd clapped as the last miner emerged from the Batian Coal Mine in
Neijiang. It took rescuers less than an hour to pull out all 29 miners.
Meanwhile, in New Zealand, rescuers were testing a high-tech robot they hope
will provide key information in their search for 29 miners trapped
underground.
No one has heard from the men — ages 17 to 62 — since an explosion inside
the mine around 4 p.m. Friday. Officials hope they are alive, though they do
not know if the men found a haven or whether parts or all of the mine
collapsed.
While drinking water is available inside the mine, the trapped men likely
only brought enough food for a single day. The mine is ventilated. Rescuers
are holding out hope that the men are breathing fresh air in a ventilation
shaft, and they say they’re committed to searching until they find the
miners.
