Earth bank collapse kills 3 pupils in Hubei
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2005-06-14 13:39 Three primary school students were confirmed dead
on Monday for being buried by a collapsed earth bank near Hanjing River in
Xiangfan City of central China's Hubei Province, a local newspaper
reports on Tuesday.
The junior victims, aged 9 to 12, had been missing since Sunday night and
their bodies were found under the collapsed bank located near a remote stream in
Xiangyang District on Monday morning.
According to the newspaper, the soil from the formerly four-meter bank had
completely intercepted the stream where the three victims were swimming when the
accident occurred, probably at around 2:00 p.m. on Sunday.
The remoteness of the accident site affected timely rescue efforts and led to
the three children's death, says the paper.
