A Chinese worker rides his motorized tricycle towards the loading station of a coal mine near the city of Datong, in China's Shanxi province, February 23, 2005. Despite increasing high-level attention to mine safety, including dismissal of officials who let accidents happen on their watch, it has been nearly impossible to control the industry in the face of coal prices that jumped 40 percent last year to about $60 a tonne.
