Mine Blast Again in China

Horrible, another nightmare for dozens of families.

An explosion at a coal mine in north China on Wednesday killed at least 22 workers and injured 37, in the latest incident to hit the country's disaster-plagued mining industry.

Five more people were missing following the explosion in the Wulong Coal Mine in Fuxin, a city in Liaoning province, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

The mine is owned by the Fuxin Mining Group, a state enterprise that also owns the Sunjiawan mine where 214 people were killed in a Feb. 14, 2005, blast. That was China's worst mining disaster in 60 years.

Extend my sincere condolence to those unlucky families!
