Rescued miner recalls the coal mine gas explosion

"We had gone down more than 400 meters at the time," rescued miner Zhang Taosuo recalled while describing the moment the explosion occurred at the Liushenyu coal mine in Qinyuan county, Shanxi province on Friday night. He said everything seemed normal before the accident and that there were no warning signs. The blast left him with head injuries. The first thing Zhang did after arriving at the hospital was call his family to let them know he was safe.
