At a coal mine in northern Turkey, where a methane explosion killed at least 28 people the previous day, rescuers worked on Saturday to release more than a dozen miners who are still believed to be trapped underground. “58 of our miners managed to escape without incident. We are attempting to rescue our estimated 15 miners who are (stuck) below “In the small coal mining community of Amasra on Turkey’s Black Sea coast, Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu made the statement.

Around 110 people were reportedly working underground when one of Turkey’s deadliest industrial catastrophes in years occurred on Friday around dusk, according to Soylu. The explosion caused a fire to start in one of the tunnels, according to Energy Minister Fatih Donmez. The impacted tunnels were thought to be 300 and 350 metres (yards) underground.

11 of those who were brought out alive were being treated in hospitals, according to a tweet from the health minister Fahrettin Koca. After the explosion, some of the miners were able to escape the mine on their own, while others needed to be saved. People gathered around a damaged white structure next to the pit entrance in quest of news of their friends and loved ones, as seen on television footage, some of whom had tears in their eyes.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey, was scheduled to travel to the accident site on Saturday. Erdogan wrote in a tweet, “Our prayer is that the loss of life will not escalate further and that our miners will be found alive.” “This is where all of our efforts are going.

The majority of the first information about individuals trapped inside was provided by employees who were able to escape relatively unscathed. Recai Cakir, the mayor of Amasra, claimed that many of the survivors had sustained “severe injuries.” The explosion was linked to a buildup of methane gas by Turkey’s Maden Is mine employees’ union.

However, other officials said that it was too early to determine the accident’s exact cause.
To help with the hunt for signs of life, rescuers sent in reinforcements from neighbouring settlements. The miners who had climbed out were being given oxygen by paramedics, who subsequently rushed them to the closest hospitals, as seen on television.

The local government reported that a group of more than 70 rescuers had succeeded in getting to a location 250 metres below the surface of the pit. It was unclear at the time if the rescuers would be able to get any closer to the stranded workers or what was preventing them from moving forward. The original spark that started the explosion, according to Turkey’s AFAD disaster management department, seems to have come from a broken transformer.

Later, it removed the report and claimed that “unknown factors” had caused a methane gas explosion. According to the local public prosecutor’s office, an official inquiry has been opened and the incident is being treated as an accident. In 2014, an explosion in the western town of Soma claimed the lives of 301 miners, making it the deadliest coal mining accident in Turkish history.
