China rescuers search for missing after mine explosion kills 82
Rescuers in northern China on Sunday searched for two individuals still missing after a gas explosion killed 82 in a mine that representatives stated was beset by serious safety breaches.
The explosion at the Liushenyu shaft in Shanxi territory on Friday was the country's worst mining crisis in nearly two decades, with 247 labor underground at the time, representatives stated.
AFP journalists saw relatives anxiously waiting by a protection post blocking the road leading to the mine on Sunday, hoping for news of their loved ones.
One man, smoking nervously on a curb, informed AFP calls to his brother — a father of three — "wouldn't go through" since the explosion.
He stated he had "no idea how the accident actually happened" and that their parents were still unaware their older son was missing.
