Following heavy rain, a tragedy was narrowly averted at a collapsed gold mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo after nine miners emerged from the rubble.
Footage shows the men crawling out of the narrow entrance after a man used his bare hands to clear away debris.

Incidents like this are considered quite common in South Kivu province, which is peppered with informal, often-hazardous mining sites.
