Nine survivors pulled from mine
Nine workers have been pulled to safety after spending more than a week trapped in a flooded coal mine in northern China, according to reports on state TV.
China Central Television showed images of the miners being rushed away in ambulances to hospitals after being rescued.
They were among 153 miners trapped since March 28 when workers broke a wall into an abandoned shaft, flooding the mine in Shanxi province.
About 3,000 people have been working around the clock since then to pump out water.
