FUXIN, Feb. 15(Xinhuanet)-- One is still in coma, and the other 21 are confirmed out of life danger, according to Zhang Yunfu, vice general manager of the Fuxin coal industry group.

The Sunjiawan colliery blast in northeast China's Liaoning Province claimed 203 lives Monday, and left 13 trapped and 22 injured.

Zhang Yunfu estimated that the one in coma was caused by the shock wave of the blast, and his head struck at metals or stones.

A medical expert team, sent by the first hospital affiliated to the Chinese Medical Sciences University, is on its way from Shenyang, capital of the province, to the general hospital of the Fuxin coal industry group.

All the 22 injured are in the hospital, which is one of the best hospitals in Fuxin.

The Sunjiawan colliery, with 3,100 workers, belongs to the Fuxin Coal Industry Group, and has two coal mines. The Haizhou coal mine is the one where the disaster took place. The Haizhou coal mine has an annual output of 1.5 million tons.
