TASHAN, China-Angry residents wailed and protested as rescuers in northern China kept hunting on Wednesday for dozens of victims feared trapped by a deluge of mud after a mine waste reservoir collapsed.State media reported searchers have confirmed 56 dead after heavy rain triggered Monday's collapse of the holding pond at the Tashan mine in Shanxi province. But some news reports and local officials have suggested the thick mud that blanketed hundreds of meters could hold more dead, possibly 100 or more.Dozens of friends and relatives hoping for news of people feared trapped were kept away from the site by police. Many of the dead were apparently migrant workers from southwest China.Some relatives and friends of the missing accused officials of cold-hearted incompetence.(1)"It's not because of the rain. It wasn't a natural disaster, it was man-made," said a migrant worker surnamed Zhang, who said his friend was probably killed."Whole families have gone. So many are dead. Why aren't you digging out our relatives?" a middle-aged woman, Zheng Xiongmei, screamed at a local official.The Chinese government took extraordinary steps to ensure the nation was trouble-free throughout the Beijing Olympic Games in August. But this disaster, the first big accident since then, is a reminder that the country's mines often remain perilous.To read more go to:
