The mine had been taken over from the North Mount Lyell Company in 1903. Events Sometime between 11:15 and 11:30 am on 12 October the pump house on the level of the mine was reported on fire. As the mine lacked an emergency warning system, those aware of the fire were forced to run along its levels and drives warning others. Of the 170 miners working in the mine, 73 managed to escape that first day. However many, including those who had been working in remote stopes, were trapped. Outside the mine, uncertainty surrounded the status of the fire and the number of miners remaining inside. Initial rescue attempts proved difficult, and repeated attempts to enter the mine failed. The rescue plan involved the transportation of brea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
