35 died in Jilin mining accident
The two gas blasts in 4 days have claimed at least 35 lives at a coal mine in northeast China’s Jilin Province. Ten are still missing. The deputy manager of a mining company has been detained in relation to the second explosion on Monday morning.
He is charged with ordering 21 miners to go into the mine in a rescue operation without approval. A similar blast hit the same mine last Friday night, leaving 28 dead and 13 injured.
According to the emergency headquarter on the scene, there are slim chances for the missing ones to survive. The causes of the accident are under investigation.
