Explosion in Chinese coal mine kills 20, traps 17
The whole world has just been touched by the Chilean miner rescue, at the other side of the world in China, miners are killed and some are still being trapped.
Coal mine explosion is nothing new in China. There is a saying in China, that "lives aren't worth any money", as the population is huge, and manpower is cheap. In past accidents, the compensations for victims' families were only a few thousands ren min bi (rmb - Chinese currency), even the cost to rescue trapped miners can be much higher than the compensation for their lives. Thats why miners in China are not as lucky as those in Chile, and when this accident happen in just a few days after the big rescue in Chile, in a big contrast, it is ashamed to look at how money is so much more important than lives in many people's eyes.
This article has a very good advantage in timeliness, as readers can easily relate to the Chilean rescue, and the fact that they put links for readers to link to related articles about he Chilean rescue is very convenient.
However, there is no pictures nor videos shown in the web page, which can be a very bad disadvantage for the article as nowadays, most of the online news articles contains pictures and videos for viewer to understand the articles more, and it can attract readers to read.
