At about 3:40 a.m. local time on April 23, a serious collapse accident and a large amount of methane gas leakage occurred in the zofioka coal mine in southwest Poland due to "high-energy impact", and 10 miners lost contact. The Polish coal mining group, which belongs to the coal mine, said that the location of the incident was 900 meters underground. At that time, 52 miners were working in the accident area, 42 of them had managed to evacuate, and 10 miners lost contact. At present, dozens of rescuers from 12 teams are participating in the search and rescue operation. However, due to the high concentration of methane underground, it is more difficult to rescue. Fortunately, there is no fire or methane explosion at present.
