A tragic mining disaster in northern China left three dead and multiple injured as an overhead transport system malfunctions.

Terrifying CCTV footage filmed in Lyuliang City in Shanxi Province on June 15, shows a sudden reversal of the overhead transport system. The steel wire rope violently shook as the device rapidly spun in the opposite direction, leading to the catastrophic failure of the safety tethering system. This resulted in multiple people being flung onto the ground, with others being catapulted into walls.

The scene of the accident has now been secured following a rescue operation. Preliminary investigation confirms a tragic toll of three fatalities, one person severely injured but they are now in stable condition, and numerous minor injuries from this disaster. The injured are currently receiving the best medical attention possible.

The coal mine has been ordered to halt production for a comprehensive safety overhaul. All post-disaster remedial measures are being carried out.
