Rescuers said there was little hope that 11 missing miners survived a gas leak in a central Chinese coal mine that killed 26 of their colleagues, after Chile offered help in the operation.
Du Bo, the deputy director of the rescue operation, said it would take days to find the miners, who were trapped when a "sudden coal and gas outburst" hit Saturday (local time) in the central province of Henan, state media reported.
"There is not much of a chance that the 11 trapped miners could have survived and it will take three to four days to find them," Mr Du was quoted as saying by the official China news service.

I don't know what to advice, how to help. My condolences to the families. How do you fight coal dust? Perhaps with massive streams of water. Could the area be sprinkled as the rescuers enter with gas masks? China has been gambling too much. It appears that the Politburo has a massive Ponzi scheme in the works, designed to bankrupt the economic world as we have known it, before the world wakes up and realizes the threat. This is why the Chinese have no time to secure the mines. It's a colossal gamble never attempted before in the history of the world!
