Miners trapped in collapsed Congo gold mine make joyful escape

All nine of the Congolese miners who were imprisoned within a fallen gold mine were safely extricated. A group of people cheered as each trapped miner emerged from the pit, one after the other, as men could be seen in video footage excavating through a stream of debris outside the mine. The footage, which was extensively circulated on social media, has been confirmed by Reuters. In Congolese mines, tunnel collapses frequently occur due to inadequate safety protocols and equipment, trapping miners underground with little chance of survival.
