Fourteen workers were rescued from a railway tunnel collapse in southwest China's Yunnan Province in the early hours of Sunday after more than five days trapped underground.
One person remains missing and the rescue operation continues, Xinhua reported.
Ambulances waiting at the entrance to the tunnel immediately took the survivors to the People's Hospital in Funing County, where the tunnel is located.
The about 20 meters of the 13.5 kilometer tunnel collapsed at around 4 p.m. Monday. More than 400 rescuers worked to free the trapped men. At 7:20 p.m. on Tuesday, rescuers managed to drill after more than 27 hours of rescue work and sent food, water and flashlights to the workers inside, while they were tried to remove the obstructions. The trapped workers helped to fix the broken electric wires on Wednesday and the power supply to the trapped area resumed.
