From BBC NEWS: Hopes are fading for five Chinese coal miners still missing after a blast in a mine killed 210 colleagues on Monday.
Rescue operations are winding down at the mine, which is in the north-eastern city of Fuxin, in Liaoning province.
The accident was the deadliest reported by China’s mining industry since the communist party took power in 1949.
A BBC correspondent in Beijing says the disaster again underlines the government’s inability to ensure safety in its mines.
