[After a week of being trapped](http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100405/ap_on_re_as/as_china_mine_flood) Amazing. I’m so happy to hear they were saved. I always prepare for bad news when I hear about a mine incident in any country. I think China has far more mining accidents than anywhere(and probably more miners, actually). 🙂 ---

Wow, that’s amazing. I wouldn’t have expected so many to survive for that long. ---

And then, rather sadly, a mine explosion in the US has killed 6(at least). ☹ [http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100405/ap\_on\_bi\_ge/us\_mine\_explosion](http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100405/ap_on_bi_ge/us_mine_explosion)
