First, the PTSD which was caused by a very rare accident, happened around 8:40 a.m. on July 29th, 2007. A severe coalmine-flood disaster occurred at Zhijian Coalmine in Shanxian County, about 200 km west of Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province in central China (USA Today News, 2007). Sixty-nine male miners were trapped in a nearly 1400 m underground coal pit. Fortunately, all of them were rescued after 75 hours of the ordeal in the darkness, with no deaths and severe body injuries. This study is the first evidence to find the cortex thickness reduction by surface-based morphometry based on such serious, sustained, direct, high-intensity and acute trauma.
