BEIJING, Feb 24 — The death toll from a coal mine collapse in northern China rose to six with at least 47 people missing as rescue efforts resumed after a landslide had halted the search for survivors, state media said on Friday.
The open-pit mine operated by small local firm Xinjing Coal Mining Co collapsed in a landslide on Wednesday, leaving workers buried under a pile of debris half a kilometre wide and an estimated 80 meters high, said state broadcaster CCTV. An avalanche of rock and soil could be seen in CCTV footage falling from one side of the mountain into the mine pit, burying a number of excavators and dump trucks.
Li Zhongzeng, head of the town of Alxa League, said the rescue mission was difficult due to the threat of more landslides, and rescue plans include layered excavation and trapezoidal descending methods from both sides of the mountain, CCTV News said on Friday.
