32 killed in Siberian coal mine blast; 58 still missing...
Edited on Mon May-10-10 02:40 PM by SidDithers
Rescue workers raced to save 58 people trapped inside Russia's largest coal mine on Monday as the death toll from twin underground explosions rose to 32.

More than 350 miners were underground when explosions hit Raspadskaya, a coal mine 3,000 km (1,850 miles) east of Moscow in the Kemerovo region of Siberia, over the weekend. Nearly 300 of them managed to escape.

"A tragedy happened at Raspadskaya. As a result of a blast people have died. The rescue operation is underway now," President Dmitry Medvedev told a government meeting.

2. Very sad.
The U.S. isn't the only place where infrastructure, safety regulation and workers rights are sacrificed for money.

5. Bad news. Hoping for the best for miner's and their families.
Russia doesn't have very good track record of rescuing anyone from anything.
