Tapping heard as Chinese rescuers hunt trapped miners
Tapping has been heard coming from a flooded Chinese coal mine where 153 workers were trapped more than five days ago, a rescue official said today.
Zhao Chuan said rescuers at the Wangjialing mine in the northern province of Shanxi heard what sounded like people knocking on pipes at about 2pm local time (6am Irish Time) today – the first signs of life since the mine was flooded with water on Sunday afternoon.
