Rescuers prepare to conduct their search and rescue work in a coal mine
in Miquan City, Northwest China's Xinjiang Autonomous Region October 28, 2006.
Four gas explosions in a row on Saturday morning at the coal mine left 14 workers
who had been trapped underground dead. Rescuers have found the bodies of all
the 14 miners and the local government has started to compensate for the
workers' death. [Newsphoto]
