\n Rescue teams are trying to bring 53 coalminers trapped underground to the surface after their pit in southern Poland was struck by an earth tremor, a company spokesperson said.\n <\/p>\n
PGG spokesperson Aleksandra Wysocka-Siembiga said the tremor occurred around 0600 GMT about 1,200 metres below ground at the Rydultowy mine.<\/p>\n
She said that 68 miners had been in the area at the time, 15 of whom had already been brought to the surface. Wysocka-Siembiga said 10 of the 15 already rescued had been hospitalised in a stable condition.<\/p>\n
“There are 53 (miners still) underground. The worrying information which we can give is that we do not currently have contact with two workers,” she said.<\/p>\n
Television footage showed helicopters and ambulances at the mine. Wysocka-Siembiga said more than 10 rescue teams were on site.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
