一个矿工被困在西弗吉尼亚州煤矿的地下3/4英里处, A miner is trapped 3/4 mile underground in a West Virginia coal mine after a flood caused by a collapsed old wall.

周六，查尔斯顿以东约 50 英里的德伦南 （Drennen） 附近的地下作业发生突然洪水，一名煤矿工人被困在西弗吉尼亚州尼古拉斯县的 Rolling Thunder 矿井深处。 A coal miner is trapped deep inside the Rolling Thunder mine in Nicholas County, West Virginia, after a sudden flood Saturday about three-quarters of a mile into the underground operation near Drennen, roughly 50 miles east of Charleston. 官员们认为，洪水是由旧矿墙受损造成的，促使多机构开展了包括抽水和水下无人机在内的救援工作。 Officials believe the flooding resulted from a compromised old mine wall, prompting a multi-agency rescue effort involving water pumping and an underwater drone. 所有其他矿工都得到了核算。 All other miners were accounted for. 该矿由田纳西州Alpha冶金资源公司经营,是该公司在西弗吉尼亚经营的11个地下矿井之一。 The mine, operated by Tennessee-based Alpha Metallurgical Resources Inc., is one of 11 underground mines the company runs in West Virginia. 2月的一份报告指出,尽管离20Mile Creek附近有煤矿接缝,但该地区已受到广泛探索,没有发现任何重大的水文问题。 A February report noted the area had been extensively explored with no major hydrologic concerns identified despite the coal seam’s proximity to Twenty Mile Creek. 局势仍然活跃,救援行动正在进行中。 The situation remains active, with rescue operations ongoing.
