China Shandong: Miners 'rescued after 36 days'

29 January 2016 Asia

The first three of four surviving Chinese miners have been rescued after being trapped for 36 days underground, Chinese state media say.

They were lifted to safety at the gypsum mine in eastern Shandong province.

China's CCTV showed dramatic footage of one of the men appearing on the surface and then being taken to hospital.

Seventeen people were trapped after the mine caved in late December; four of them were later found alive.
