In a tragic incident, six students from Northeastern University drowned during an educational visit to a mining facility in north China's Inner Mongolia. The students fell into an industrial flotation tank at a copper-molybdenum ore-dressing plant.
This operation is run by a company under China National Gold Group Co in Hulunbuir. Despite rescue efforts, all six students were declared dead by medical personnel, according to state-run Xinhua news agency.
An accompanying teacher sustained injuries during the incident. The visit, meant to educate, instead ended in heartbreak, prompting questions about safety protocols at such facilities.
