Three critically injured miners remain in stable conditions after rescuers pulled out more than 50 people from a coal mine after a rock burst in central China, a hospital official said Sunday.
Of the three, one broke the spine bones while the other two were wounded in the chest, said Liang Hui, assistant to the president of the general hospital of Yima Coal Group. Liang said the three, confined in the hospital's intensive care unit for observation, would soon be operated on.
A rock burst occurred in the Qianqiu Coal Mine in the city of Sanmenxia, Henan province, following a 2.9-magnitude earthquake on Thursday. Of the 75 miners working in the shaft, eight were killed, 14 managed to escape, while rescuers saved 53 others, including 45 who had been trapped underground for 40 hours.
