An escape pod designed to save lives in mining accidents went on display in Henan Province yesterday. The protective capsule for coal miners was produced by Henan Zhongping Energy Chemical Group. Each pod provides communication equipment, oxygen, drinking water, food, first-aid and medical supplies for 10 miners for at least four days. China is the world's largest coal producer with annual output of over 3 billion tons. But more than 2,500 miners die in accidents each year. [Xinhua photo]
