Chinese rescuers pulled 11 gold miners to safety on Sunday, 14 days after they were trapped by an underground explosion, state broadcaster CCTV reported.
Footage showed the first miner to be rescued, a black blindfold across his eyes, being lifted out of a mine shaft in the morning.
The miner was extremely weak, CCTV said on its Weibo site. Rescue workers wrapped the barely responsive man in a blanket before taking him to hospital by ambulance.

Sounds like they rescued 21 of 22. 1 was lost.
I’m glad these men were brought to safety.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I agree with all that China does; simply that I don’t want to see working men (or women) buried alive.

Agreed.
Perhaps China let this news out because it wants to rehabilitate its reputation, after Covid and all.
I may have misread the article...
It looks as if there are still 10 trapped down there; they’re in another section.
It looks like they pulled the first set of 11 out.
Can you let me know what you think?
Sometimes it’s confusing for me.
you’re correct...
11 miners rescued...
10 miners remain trapped...
Yeah it seems to read both ways.
Like a two-week estimate to save the remaining 10.
And that they pulled them out. Earlier than estimated.

I’m actually surprised they really did it.
Because the eyes of the world were on them. Otherwise...
