Today is proclaimed Mourning Day in Ukraine for the victims of the explosions in two mines. At least 26 dead and 2 wounded in the mine "Sukhodilska-Eastern" in Luhansk region and 11 dead and 4 wounded in Bazhanov mine in Makiyivka, Donetsk region. Totally 37 lives were lost for their relatives and friends.
Deaths of the miners is this high price for coal industry in Ukraine. Ukrainian miners have a high risk to die or to be injured and then to become invalid after working in a mine. Many Ukrainian mines have very old technical equipment and sometimes mine's equipment can be used since 1950 years till nowadays!
But all mines must be inspected if they are safe for people's work and if the equipments are working without any infringement! Why must people take a risk and go in the mine like go on a visit to the death? They have a right to work without such risk, to have a normal worked day and much higher salary then they have now. When some mine works with some technical violations, this mine must be repaired. Or when the mine has older equipment, so its equipment must be changed. And when mine is just dangerous for people's staying there, that mine must be closed. Why don't proprietors think about human lives of their workers? How may lives of the miners be equaled a nothing while coal industry is one of the mainest in Ukrainian economics?
