Hopes fade for victims of Zonguldak coal mine blast

Intensive rescue efforts failed to deliver the desired outcome yesterday for 30 workers trapped since Monday in a coal mine in the northwestern province of Zonguldak.

Rescue efforts are expected to continue for another three days, but time is running out for the 30 workers who are buried 540 meters below ground inside the mine.

What a tragic situation!  I only heard about this today, and am amazed nothing has been mentioned here. We really need to find renewable, and more earth friendly fuels.

May Allah have mercy on the souls of those miners, and may the suffering of their famlies be eased.

Unfortunately they are found dead May they rest in peace.

What a horrible tragedy My condolences to the families of the people who died in the accident...

My condolences to the families as well. Unfortunately this same situation has happened in the United States frequently as well, it´s always a tragedy...
