Turkish Mine Accident

A power transformer blew up Tuesday during shift change at the mine in the western Turkish city of Soma, sparking a choking fire deep inside. 274 miners are known to be dead mostly due to carbon monoxide poisoning. The death toll is still growing. Authorities worked to pump in good air into the mine, so they could get in. However, sending in oxygen likely would "increase the likelihood that the fire would grow and continue to put those miners at risk." A series of unfortunate events for Soma, Turkey.
