Five miners are trapped inside a coalmine after a water pipe burst Tuesday and
flooded their way out. Rescue workers are trying to free the miners.
The miners are trapped 500 meters inside the mine. It is uncertain if they are still alive or not.
Rescue efforts are complicated, because part of the mine shaft collapsed after the flood.
One miner died and twent were wounded in the same mine in June 2006 when a group of seventy miners were trapped in the same mine after an explosion.
