　　At about 17:00 on December 4, the Diaoshuidong coal mine, which was closed for more than two months in Yongchuan District, Chongqing, was shut down for more than two months. Because the company dismantled underground equipment on its own, a carbon monoxide overrun accident occurred and 24 people were trapped underground.

　　After the accident, relevant parties in Chongqing City and Yongchuan District quickly launched an emergency rescue plan, established an on-site headquarters, and organized public security, fire, emergency, and medical departments to carry out rescue work.

The Emergency Management Department sent a working group to the scene to guide the disposal.

　　At the rescue site, reporters from China News Service could smell the pungent smell 100 meters away from the mouth of the Diaoshuidong coal mine.

At 3 o'clock in the morning on the 5th, the reporter saw in the mine where the incident occurred, white smoke with a pungent odor was continuously emerging from the well.

Rescuers wore full equipment outside the well head to discuss rescue plans.

Not far from the well head, many rescuers are on standby, ready to go down the well for rescue.

　　Outside the rescue, the sister of the miner Ou Jiancai frowned and rubbed her hands, pacing back and forth, staring at the direction of the rescue scene.

She told a reporter from Chinanews.com that her brother is an electrician who has worked in the mine for more than ten years. After learning that his brother had an accident in the mine, she and her sister immediately rushed to the mine to learn about his brother's situation.

Every time an ambulance came out, she immediately leaned in and looked inward, hoping to hear from her brother sooner.

　　Currently, search and rescue work is still underway, and the specific cause of the accident is still under investigation.
