http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/11/22/china.mine/index.html


In China, a country were there are many mining accidents, had yet another "disaster" with a mine that got flooded with 29 miners trapped inside. they were saved within 30 hours, and all of them were rescued. The article talks about the medics and how quickly they worked, and how they were experienced with this type of thing. They also talked a lot about the hospital, and the what they did with the miners... But in fact, they didn't mention anything about the condition of the miners, what had caused the flood, and the people involved. They also mention on the bottom of the article that after this incident happened, china briefly mentioned it on the news, and skips quickly onto another subject while this story has been fanned out all over the world. but why?, i mean i live in the Middle East. Why would a natural disaster in china affect me in any way, what good does it bring me? except general knowledge about the mines in China.
