BEIJING (AP) -- Chinese media say two coal miners have been rescued one week after being trapped in a mine collapse.
The government's Xinhua News Agency and state television say the two miners were found early Sunday in the mine in the southern Guangxi region. They spent more than 180 hours, or about seven and a half days, underground.
The Guangxi Heshan Coal mine collapsed July 2.
Xinhua said rescuers were using tools and their bare hands to dig through rubble and sludge in a search for 16 other missing miners.
