Mine Collapse in Inner Mongolia Kills 5, 48 Miners Still Missing
At least five people were killed and 48 others were still missing a day after the collapse of a coal mine in China's northern region of Inner Mongolia, state media reported on Thursday. The open-pit mine operated by small local firm Xinjing Coal Mining Co collapsed in a landslide, leaving dozens of workers buried under a huge pile of debris half a kilometre (550 yards) wide and an estimated 80 m high, according to state broadcaster CCTV. Dramatic security camera footage aired on CCTV on Thursday showed an avalanche of rock and soil falling from one side of the mountain into the mine pit, burying a number of excavators and dump trucks. Three hundred rescue workers were at the site using heavy machinery and rescue dogs to aid in their search for the trapped miners, state media said. Coal is a major source of energy in China but its mines are among the world's deadliest, largely due to lax enforcement of safety standards, despite repeated government orders for improvements in safety over the years. |

"Under the collapse of a height of 180 meters were 6 people, another 6 were injured, and 47 were missing. The owners of the Xinjing Coal Industry Mine have been subjected to numerous lawsuits for non-payment of debts and allegations of violation of safety regulations since 2014."

Re: Mine Collapse in Inner Mongolia Kills 5, 48 Miners Still Missing
The walls of most open-pit mines are dug at an angle and include steps to prevent avalanches from occurring inside the build site. The incline section of the wall is called the ‘batter,’ and the flat part of the step is called the ‘bench’ or ‘berm.’ This open pit mine didn’t do that and created a very dangerous situation for the miners. Fucking China. |
