AN SUBTERRANEAN GAS LEAK CLAIMED THE LIVES OF EIGHTEEN CHINESE WORKERS.

On Saturday, it was verified that eighteen workers had passed away as a result of a carbon monoxide leak in a coal mine in the southwestern region of China, according to official media. Rescue attempts are now underway to reach five further miners who are still trapped below. After the gas leak that happened on Friday at the Diaoshuidong mine in the city of Chongqing, twenty-four miners were said to have been caught up in the catastrophe. This information was published by the state broadcaster CCTV. According to the local emergency rescue command headquarters, as of Saturday morning, there was one person who had survived the incident, and at least 18 others had been discovered dead. According to the footage from the surveillance cameras, the disaster took place while workers were disassembling underground mining equipment. Over the course of the past two months, the mine had been shut down. It was reported by the official Xinhua news agency that investigators were attempting to identify the cause of the tragedy. The Xinhua news agency said that in 2013, three persons lost their lives as a result of an accident that occurred at the mine. There is a high incidence of mining accidents in China, a country in which the mining sector has a poor safety record and rules are often applied in a lax manner. As a consequence of a conveyor belt catching fire and the subsequent fire producing deadly amounts of carbon monoxide, sixteen workers were murdered in another mine on the outskirts of Chengqing in the month of September.
