As usual there are inconsistencies with the numbers of miners involved, the very fact that no-one knows exactly who was underground is a tragedy in itself. The latest reported numbers are 282 dead and 150 still trapped, the dead includes one 15 year old boy.

It is being suggested that uncertified people were allowed to work down this mine including "children" which i think refers to teenagers
there seems to be a lot of questions that needs to be answered judging by the sheer scale of riots that have broken out
one person said they are not given self rescuers ?
