From the shaft, a rescue team climbs to the ground with a miner.
The weakened miner was blindfolded and was immediately taken to the hospital.
Ten additional miners were also rescued.

All 22 miners were buried in an explosion in a gold mine in Shandong Province on the 10th.
The rescue team noticed someone knocking on the coffin a week after they dug down.
Subsequently, there were 12 people in the basement through the lines from which food and medicine were sent down, and a message from the survivor was posted saying’there is a lot of smoke’ and’as long as the rescue operation continues, there is hope.’
As the locations of the buried miners were identified, the rescue operation accelerated, and the volunteers helped.

One miner who was injured in the head at the time of the explosion was killed in the end, but all 11 people who were confirmed to survive were rescued.
Earlier, the Chinese government arrested the head of the company for reporting the accident 30 hours late and dismissed senior local authorities.
The Chinese, who hoped that a Chilean miracle that rescued 33 miners 11 years ago in 69 days, would take place in China, are also praying for the safe return of 10 miners as they have not yet reached.
