It happened in Dhanbad, India, where people mine for coal.
A politician is protesting to try and get the miners rescued.
People say the mine fell in because of illegal mining, where people dig without permission.
But the police and the company that owns the mine say they don't see any problems.
Some leaders think the government is not doing enough and might be hiding what happened.
