BEIJING, China (CNN) — A fatal coal mine collapse in northeastern China — the second in less than a week — killed at least 21 miners, state-run media reported Sunday. Seven miners escaped on foot and four others were rescued after Saturday’s collapse at a mine in Shanxi province, the China News Agency reported. Officials continue investigating the incident at the state-run mine in the south suburb of Datong, the news agency said. The accident followed a similar mine disaster on Wednesday that killed 18 miners in neighboring Shaanxi province. Ten miners survived the collapse at the state-owned Huisen Liangshuijing Coal Mine, about 375 miles (600 km) north of the provincial capital, Xi’an. |
