Description

A blast at a coal mine in southern China has killed 29 people - the latest in a string of disasters to hit the accident-prone industry.
State media reported that 35 miners were working underground when the gas explosion happened on Saturday afternoon.
The bodies of the deceased workers have all been recovered.
This CCTV footage shows family members waiting at the mine to receive the bodies of their loved ones.
China's mines are the deadliest in the world, due to lax safety standards and a rush to feed demand from a robust economy.
2,433 people died in coal mine accidents in China last year, and 2,631 perished in 2009.
