26 coal miners killed in China by Zivka Deleva

When one mentions miners believe it or not, but the first thought coming in my mind is some accident. Is it that there is not a lot that’s done for the safety of these brave people to be improve, or they are simply coursed to have such a bad luck. After the last accident in Chile when 33 miners when trapped for few months in a crashed mine everyone would say that it was the time for some good stuff to be done and heard. But, few days ago, the China news woke us up with new black information about 26 miners killed in a coal mine in central Henan province. Everyone would say that we are talking about a country that has a pretty long history with such black days. In the! whole mess it is good that almost half of the miners, some 20, where saved from the cruel hands of the death. China is a developing country that makes nervous all big economical powers in the last few years. But, it seems that besides good business and cheap working power, it doesn’t have a lot to offer to its citizens. In the history of all the mines countries, China takes the first place having the deadliest mines of all. Mines don’t offer safety standards. Who can believe the about 2600 people have died only last year? What happened this time? An explosion happened and then the suspicion rises easily. Though officials had announced that there were total 33 miners, it turned out that the complete number was 46! Most of the accidents that usually happen are due to the build-up of coal gas or methane ignited by sparks or open flames. Besides the rigorous regulations about coal mining, many producers just don’t give a damn about that.
