A miner who had been missing for more than two days following an earthquake at the Rydultowy coal mine in Poland has been found alive, local officials confirmed on Saturday.
The miner, conscious and awaiting transport to the surface, was discovered after a 3.1 magnitude tremor struck 1,200 meters below ground on Thursday afternoon.
The earthquake resulted in rocks ejecting into a corridor, causing one death and injuring 17 others. An air ambulance is on standby at the colliery's gate to transport the miner for medical care.
