BEIJNING, China, June 11 (UPI) -- Five workers became trapped Wednesday in an undersea sewage treatment plant pipeline off the southern China shore that flooded, authorities said.
Rescuers tried Thursday to reach the workers but there were concerns whether they could be alive as seawater had flooded the pipeline and a deep connecting shaft, Xinhua reported, quoting a city official in the Hainan province capital of Haikou.
A sixth worker escaped, the news agency reported.
Rescuers included four divers from a local navy unit who searched for the breach in the pipeline.
The shaft is reported to be more than 65 feet deep and the pipeline 5.3 feet in diameter and 4,430 feet long.
