Man frees nine entrapped diggers at a gold mine using just his bare hands

This amazing rescue of nine guys from a cave-in gold mine by a man using only his bare hands happened at this exact time.

The worker, smeared in dirt, hangs onto the steep hill and frantically scoops up handfuls of rubble while wearing only a helmet for safety.

He grabs a man within the hole, pulls him out, and then goes back to look for more survivors while keeping a wary eye on falling rocks.

He rushes swiftly out of the way as Rubble suddenly tumbles down the slope.

But the brave hero wastes no time going back again and, with the help of another man, makes sure to grab the remaining miners who leap out to safety.

It happens nine times to the sound of cheers from the watching crowd.

The collapse followed heavy rainfall in the South Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Accidents like these happen all too frequently in the central African country, especially at small, artisanal sites.

The DRC has been wrapped up in war for more than two decades.

It is currently in the middle of The Second Congo War, also called the Great African War, which started in 1998.

The origins of the conflict are complicated but gold mines have played a huge role in the fighting as different groups want control of the wealth they offer.

The UN has previously accused other countries, including Rwanda, Uganda and Zimbabwe, of illegally exploiting the DRC’s resources during the unrest.
