Turkey: Flooding Traps Miners Turkey: Flooding Traps Miners
(less than a minute earlier)
Underground water flooded a section of a coal mine in southern Turkey on Tuesday, trapping at least 18 workers, officials and reports said. The problem at the mine was likely to revive concerns about safety standards, especially after 301 miners died in May in a fire in a mine in the western town of Soma. The mine flooded on Tuesday is near Ermenek in Karaman Province, about 300 miles south of Ankara. It was not immediately clear what had caused the flooding.Underground water flooded a section of a coal mine in southern Turkey on Tuesday, trapping at least 18 workers, officials and reports said.
