This accident also shows how correct the assessment of the International Miners' Coordination Group is, which was recently published in the ICG newsletter: "Based on the reports we have received, we have the impression that mining accidents with fatal outcomes and repression against active trade union colleagues are increasing. The ongoing global financial and economic crisis has significantly increased the exploitation of and shifting of the burden of the crisis onto the miners and their families." There are technical possibilities (methane measuring devices) with which the danger of a gas explosion can be detected before it breaks out - such accidents are therefore avoidable!
