    Tragedy is boundless.

    There is a 15-year-old deceased among the ones could be found. Yes, 15 years old.

    A friend from Soma, the town where the mine is, says that the death toll easily could top 400-500. The electric transformer underground explodes and the mine goes hell. As of now, the fire was still raging on in the mine. The number of workers in the mine is yet to be revealed. There is so much to be debated yet I don't know if I should feel outraged or sunk in sorrow.

    AKP reign has been a period of internalized deaths of women, children, workers and the young. However they are "elected. Over and over.

    God deliver us from this disaster and the fool.

    A 15-year old mine worker would mean jail time for the management in the USA.

    Mine fires are among the most difficult underground threats to minimize, it has been a problem throughout history.

    I will say prayers for those who have died and their families. How horrible.
