Mine disasters

Mine disasters are serious events where underground mining operations experience dangerous incidents, such as explosions, collapses, or flooding. These accidents often result from the buildup of gases like methane, structural failures, or inadequate safety measures, leading to injuries or loss of life among workers. Advances in technology, safety protocols, and regulations aim to prevent such disasters, but they remain a significant occupational risk in mining. Preparedness and rapid response are crucial to minimizing harm when these incidents occur.
