Mine

A potentially hazardous situation unfolded today near Varna's "Kabakum" beach as a floating mine was discovered in the sea, as reported by BNR. The Navy swiftly mobilized a mine countermeasures vessel to the scene to address the threat.

The body of another miner was recovered on Dec. 10 after a mine collapse in the Şirvan district of Turkey's southeastern province of Siirt on Nov. 17, Doğan News Agency has reported.   

Mine worker Mustafa Sarı survived a mine accident four years ago. Eight of his colleagues died.

The other day, Sarı died at another mine accident in Gelik, in the Kilimli district of the Black Sea province of Zonguldak. 

What killed Mustafa Sarı? Did he die because of the "nature" of his job?

Palliative remedies to chronic problems cannot produce lasting or efficient cures to the ailment. Irrespective of political ideology, religion, ethnicity or language, miners are losing their lives in this country because “such deaths are in the nature of the mining industry.” After all, such accidents are exceptional, are they not?
