Dozens trapped in China mine collapse

Altogether, 29 people were working in the shaft of the gypsum in Baotai Township, Pingyi County when it collapsed, a county government spokesman said. Four persons were lifted above ground, and efforts to pull out more were on, the spokesman said. 

The accident at the mine, owned by the Yurong trade company, was likely caused by another collapse that hit a neighbouring gypsum goaf, he said.
