SOUTH KOREAN MINERS RELY ON COFFEE TO SURVIVE NINE DAYS UNDERGROUND

  • 05/11/2022

Two miners who were trapped in a collapsed South Korean zinc mine for nine days and survived on instant coffee powder have been rescued. The men, aged 62 and 56, are thought to have kept warm by lighting a fire and erecting a plastic tent. They are said to be in good health.

It comes at a time when South Korea is in mourning after more than 150 people were killed in a crush in the capital Seoul last week. The two miners were trapped nearly 200 metres (650 feet) underground after a section of the zinc mine they were working in collapsed on October 26 in Bonghwa, China's east.
