Interesting to see what, if anything, will be the world reaction to this as compared to the Chile drama.

China had its own stunning mine rescue earlier this year, when 115 miners were pulled from a flooded mine in the northern province of Shanxi after more than a week underground. The miners survived by eating sawdust, tree bark, paper and even coal. Some strapped themselves to the walls of the shafts with their belts to avoid drowning while they slept.

I mean, this sounds increadible, but I never heard anything about it.
