Fourteen workers were rescued after being trapped for 131 hours in the debris of a collapsed railway tunnel in Funing County in China's southwestern province of Yunnan.
Rescue work continued for the last missing worker, according to China's (Xinhua) News Agency.
The workers are "in pretty good condition", said their doctors.
About 20 meters of a 13.5-km tunnel, known as Funing No. 1 tunnel, collapsed Monday, in Funing County of Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Wenshan, trapping 15 workers. More than 400 rescuers were mobilized to save the trapped men.
Rescuers drilled a hole in the collapsed tunnel Tuesday and managed to send food, water and flashlights to the workers.
