We must investigate the cause of the accident why mine happened in the "brand mine"?

Shanxi Coking Coal Group Company Xishan coal Tunlan the early morning of 22 serious accidents, causing 74 people dead, as at 19 o'clock on the 22nd, and 114 wounded in the hospital for observation, treatment, one of 5 people in a critical condition. (February 22, according to the Xinhua News Agency)

In at all costs to save lives at the same time, the accident occurred on the mine will also investigate the reasons for the start. Judging from the current view, Tunlan events

Are derived from gas explosion. Have data, 80% coal-mine accidents are caused by gas explosion. It is also out of this, China's coal mine safety related regulations and technical rules for the operation of the prevention and treatment of gas made specific requirements and norms, and from 2005 the country began to promote coal for the satellite monitoring system. Experts also pointed out that as long as the pump and then insist on mining to wind定产, control measures such as electrical fire source, a major gas explosion can be prevented, then why in the end兰瓦斯Tuen explosion happened? In particular, when the explosion occurred in Shanxi, the relevant aspects of its safety in production have been proud of Tunlan coal mines, it is even more need for a clear answer.

It is learned that the accident occurred Tunlan coal since 2004 has maintained a zero mortality rate one million tons of records. January 28 last year, "Shanxi Daily" once to "Tunlan become a Chinese coal mine brand" the title is reported that in 2006, again Tunlan maintain and break the three historical record: zero discharge of wastewater, coal inventory throughout the year without a major personal injury and death. In addition, gas, coal gangue, coal slime the comprehensive utilization of coal industry in Shanxi Province has become a model project.

Unfortunately, however, is that for five consecutive years of zero mortality Tunlan, a gas explosion happened? It may be prompted all along, we are not too many coal mine safety precautions will focus on those illegal, illegal, there is no牌证above the small coal mines, and on the technology or better conditions of state-owned coal enterprises inadequate supervision of mine? Therefore the cause of the accident investigation, not only for ex post facto accountability required, all the better for coal mine safety in particular, to provide a warning of gas control.

Yes, we have no reason to doubt Shanxi remediation efforts and sincerity, but the recurrence of the "2.22" serious accidents, it pointed out to us that a large province of turning coal to difficulties in mine production safety to prevent difficulties. 74 In the face of life suddenly disappear, It is hard, but also for effort.
