No signs of life detected in flooded coal Mine
No signs of life was detected in a flooded coal mine where 31 miners have been trapped since March 1 in north China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region.
On the heels of the deadly West Virginia mine disaster that left 29 workers dead, MSHA launched an inspection blitz at 57 coal mines with a history of underground conditions that indicate a significant number of violations and/or conditions that may relate to methane accumulations, ventilation practices, rock dust applications and inadequate mine examinations.
