TALLMANSVILLE, United States (AFP) – Only one of the 13 US coal miners trapped for 41 hours underground here has survived, the company which owns the mine said, hours after it was announced that 12 men had survived.
“The initial report from the rescue teams from the command center indicated multiple survivors, but that information proved to be a miscommunication,” International Coal Group (ICG) president and chief executive Ben Hatfield told reporters Wednesday.
法新社美国报道：煤矿公司说，在经历了41小时的地下营救之后，（美国西弗吉尼亚州萨戈煤矿）被困的13名矿工中仅有1人生还。数小时后得到证实12名矿工获得生还。
国际煤矿组织总裁兼首席执行官本还特周三告诉记者：“来自援救指挥中心最初的消息显示有多名矿工获救，但是这个还有待于证实。”（江峡 译）
