What do I think I know about this disaster?
I know it has to be an explosion in a mine, because of the title.
I think I heard it was some build up of a gas in the mine. I don't know how and why it exploded.
I presume a lot of miners died, I would say the explosion made some of the rocks fall and trap people.
