10 dead in NE China colliery flood

HEGANG, Heilongjiang - Ten people have been confirmed dead as the result of a coal mine flood in northeast China's Heilongjiang province, as one body was retrieved early Friday morning, the local emergency rescue headquarters said.

Meanwhile, efforts to rescue another four trapped miners are ongoing.

An initial investigation showed that water from an abandoned mined-out area above the mining platform, where the accident occurred, was to blame for the tragedy.
