I am in Turkey in Izmir and I have to say I am not surprised at the idiotic comments of the Prime Minister. If any one is in the nineteenth century it is him... I had 20 years in mining in Britain and have worked in Turkish mines, and most of those I have worked in are nineteenth century in their technology and attitude to health and safety. I have not worked at Soma but for any mine not to have an emergency surface generator dedicated to shaft winding is ridiculous...This explosion is not an accident, it is not Gods work Allahs or Buddahs, or even inevitable fate, but some ones failure to carry out procedures, checks or maintenance work... there were prompt accusations that crony capitalism had contributed to the disaster, and allegations that local authorities had failed to enforce safety regulations and ensure decent working conditions....Questions were swiftly raised about the political connections of the mines owner, whose wife was reported to be a local councillor for the governing party.
