BEIJING — Twenty-two coal miners were rescued today from a flooded pit in northeastern China after being trapped underground for a week.
State broadcaster CCTV showed the men being brought slowly to the surface, with all apparently in good condition.
Hopes for the miners were revived Sunday after noises were detected through a 920-foot pipe that was drilled to allow fresh air into the illegal mine near the city of Qitaihe.
Twenty-six other miners were trapped Aug. 23 when workers broke through into an adjacent flooded pit.
