Ten missing after mining accident in Poland.
For the second time in just a few days, a serious mining accident has occurred in Poland: Ten miners are missing after a concussion in the Zofiowka coal mine.
The search for them is proving difficult.Ten workers are missing after a tremor in the Zofiowka coal mine in southern Poland. They are being searched for, according to the mine operator JSW.
At around 3:40 a.m., a quake occurred at a depth of 900 meters. As a result, methane gas leaked in the mine, it said. “Rescue workers have not been in contact with ten people.”
Just Wednesday, there had been two methane gas explosions at another mine in Silesia belonging to the same company. Five men were recovered dead, seven others buried.
The search for them was called off without result on Friday because it had become too dangerous for the rescuers themselves.
