BEIJING (AP) - An upsurge of gas in a Chinese coal mine killed 11 miners, a state news agency reported Tuesday, as the governor of a major province was quoted as calling for heavier fines for mine accidents to improve safety.
The "gas outburst" occurred Friday in the Tao'er Coal Mine in Handan, an industrial city in Hebei province, which surrounds Beijing, the Xinhua News Agency reported.
The last of the bodies of 11 dead miners were found Tuesday morning, Xinhua said, citing rescue officials.
