  1. ⚡️ Update: 11 workers killed in a platinum mine accident in Rustenburg, South Africa. The incident involved a malfunctioning winding rope connected to a lift. Safety conditions in South African mines have improved but concerns persist. Mining company, Impala Platinum, is conducting an investigation into the cause of the accident. In a separate incident, Liberia arrests 11 Ghanaians for illegal mining. #SouthAfrica #miningaccident #safetyconcerns riskmap.com/incidents/1962819/

  2. Recently I posted on my blog about a Bureau of Mines Mine Rescue Car that visited the mining town of Roswell, Ohio in 1923. That post, and a comment from someone who saw it, led me to examine a tragic incident from 1927 that occurred at a coal mine outside of Mineral City, Ohio in Tuscarawas County.
