Fire at Chinese coal mine kills 17

BEIJING (AVRUPA TIMES) Four miners died at a hospital in northeast China early Friday morning, bringing the death toll from a coal mine fire in Liaoning province to 17.

 

State news agency Xinhua reported that the blaze broke out at the Xingli mine in Huludao City at 9.07 p.m. Thursday (1307GMT). 

 

While 23 miners were lifted from the pit alive, another 13 initially perished inside.

 

Sources told Xinhua that welding equipment was responsible for the fire, although investigations continue. 

 

China produces more than one-third of the world's annual coal output, but accounts for more than two-thirds of global mining deaths annually, Mining Technology reported last year.

 

In August, 13 people died after a gas explosion at a coal mine in southwestern Guizhou province, while in December 2014 a similar explosion in northeastern Heilongjiang left 10 miners dead.
