[At least four people are dead](https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/22/china/four-dead-and-dozens-trapped-in-chinese-mine-with-elevated-carbon-monoxide-levels?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=missions&utm_source=reddit) and 90 others are trapped underground after carbon monoxide levels “exceeded limits” in a coal mine in northeast China on Friday night, according to state media.
Rescue efforts are continuing at the Liusheyu coal mine in Changzi City, Xinhua News reported. The accident happened at 9:43 p.m. local time (9:43 a.m. ET) when 247 workers were underground.
At least 157 people – including the four dead – were evacuated by 3:33 a.m. local time on Saturday, according to Xinhua.
At least 16 of those still trapped are in “critical condition,” state media reported.
jeez another one. It’s like every year this happens…..

Disaster disaster disease tragedy explosion shooting disaster rocket launch disease.
Is there ever any good news these days? 😅
Really conditioning the human psyche for tragedy these news conglomerates.
I would have thought they could pump air into the mine with some industrial blowers without much trouble, wouldn’t that displace the Carbon monoxide ? could possibly get two blower fans one pulling air the other blowing fresh air in?
only reason that wouldnt work i can think of would be if the mine is crazy in its shape.
Oh my god that’s horrible. I hope the government can get them out safely. What a tragedy, I know coal isn’t exactly safe but it’s still so sad how many people die each year. We really need to transition to renewable energies as quickly as possible

oh god, death by slow oxygen deprivation
What an awful way to die
At least 8 dead now. Sad.
Hope they make it out okay!
So 94 dead in chinese death trap?
Tell me again how dangerous nuclear is
Ban coal.
The more I hear about this „coal“ stuff the more I wish there was some kind of alternative energy source out there…
In Shanxi? Just like the 2009 incident in Shanxi. I remember reading up on that, how lethal it was. I hope that this does not end in as big a tragedy, though with every passing minute I know there’s less of a good outlook.
But Reddit told me China only installs and uses green energy!?
Horrifying.
More open pit mining now. Still has its hazards, different from underground in that its more individualized accidents vs. a larger group in an environment with minimal escape routes.
