A Polish coal miner who had been trapped underground since Thursday was found alive by rescuers on Saturday, according to local media reports. The Rydultowy mine in southern Poland, operated by the state-controlled group PGG, experienced a tremor at around 06:00 GMT on Thursday, approximately 1,200 metres (3,960 feet) below ground.
The tremor resulted in the death of one miner, while around 76 miners were brought to the surface alive by rescuers on Thursday, with 17 taken to hospital. The state-run news channel TVP Info reported that the miner was conscious when rescuers reached him. The private broadcaster RMF FM mentioned that a helicopter was at the mine to transport him to the hospital.
Most of the miners who were hospitalized have since been discharged, as reported by TVP Info.
