Рет қаралды 4,831
Жыл бұрынOn the 20th of September 1975 the Kianga #1 Mine exploded killing 13 miners. A fire had developed in the 4 North goaf area and activities were being undertaken to seal off that part of the mine. Just after 5pm a major explosion occurred, killing all 13 men, still working on the seals. The mine was never re-entered and those miners remain entombed in the mine.

So so sad, men go to work to provide for there families and never come home. I really hope lessons were learnt 😔😔 Very well made documentary 👏 👍

Reminder that companies cause industrial disputes, NOT workers.

Once a methane explosion develops into a full on dust explosion, there is no hope left of finding any survivors in the area affected. If you look at videos of the thermobaric bombs in use in Ukraine and multiply this force by ten, you are likely to still be short of the mark of a dust explosion in a confined tunnel.

yep If a person survives the explosion they are likely to die from asphyxiation..
