Migrant workers rescued from mountain blizzard in southwest China

2011-01-21 11:49:05 GMT+7 (ICT)

KUNMING, CHINA (BNO NEWS) -- Eleven migrant workers on Thursday were rescued after being trapped in a mountain blizzard for 60 hours in southwest China, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

The migrant workers, who were returning from Myanmar to join their families for the Chinese New Year, were hit by a snowstorm on Tuesday. The workers decided to walk along the heavy snow and freezing cold, after their vehicle became trapped in the snow.

Seven of the migrant workers were unable to continue after their food ran out.

Two lumbermen from Myanmar, also trapped in the snowstorm, were also saved by the rescuers.

Over 100 rescuers were sent to the area after authorities received calls from the migrant workers.

As the US top dog Donald Trump touches down in the Turkish capital of Ankara for the NATO Leaders Summit - along with around 1,400 of his minions - a very strange tradition is raising its head once again. Everything that the charismatic 80-year-old relieves his body of will not touch foreign soil. Instead, it'll be collected in his personal toilet system, watched hawk-like by accompanying members of the Secret Service with pegs on their nose. But what in God's name is this all about? https://w
