The collapse of two elevators in a tin ore mine in central China has killed 26 men and injured five others in the latest accident to hit the country's dangerous mining industry. The official Xinhua News Agency said that 19 men died immediately in the accident that took place Thursday and seven others later when the brakes failed. It did not give any details on how that happened. Most accidents are blamed on failures to follow safety rules, including a lack of required ventilation or fire control equipment.
