Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Tuesday, 7 March 2006, 07:19 GMT Blast kills eight Vietnam miners Eight miners have been killed in an explosion at a coal mine in northern Vietnam that was believed to have been caused by methane gas. Rescuers in Quang Ninh province, 190km (120 miles) east of Hanoi, recovered the bodies after conducting a five-hour search on Monday. A Thong Nhat Coal Mine Company official said the bodies were badly burned. The country's worst mining accident, which killed 16 workers, also occurred in Quang Ninh, in 1999. The miners on Monday were only 15 minutes into their shift when the suspected explosion from a methane pocket occurred, company administrative head Le Xuan Nhuong said. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4781134.stm Dasha: Ve/Ra/Me/Ra/Ra satva Jorge Angelino Rua da Sociedade Filarmónica Perpétua Azeitonense, 29 2925-598 Azeitão Portugal jorge.angelino tel: mobile: 210813674 963916784 Add me to your address book...
