BBC: China mine disaster toll rises

 40831449 Mine Getty203Body 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.
