Two brothers survive in collapsed coal mine for nearly six days
The men were trapped 35 to 40 yards away from the mine entrance but clawed their way out with a pick. They had no food and little water, drinking each other’s urine to survive, according to media reports.
The China Daily played up a report about Meng Xianchen and Meng Xianyou, who surfaced on Friday morning after more than 130 hours trapped in an illegal mine in Beijing’s Fangshan district.
