They not sure if was earthquake or explosioin A Polish mining company on Thursday said at least 10 coal miners had been injured and that rescuers were searching for dozens more. Some 68 miners were in the affected underground area when an unknown tremor was recorded at about 8 a.m. local time. What we know so far Polish Coal Mining Group spokesperson Aleksandra Wysocka-Siembiga said the tremor was at a depth of about 1,200 meters (about 4,000 feet), according to broadcaster Polsat. "Some of these people are being brought to the surface, some have already been brought up and some have not yet been reached by the rescuers," Wysocka-Siembiga said. "There are 53 [miners still] underground. The worrying information that we can give is that we do not currently have contact with two workers," she said. Officials said 15 people had been brought to the surface with some taken to hospital. Air ambulances have been taking part in the operation. www.dw.com/en/poland-dozens-of-coal-miners-missing-after-powerful-tremor/a-69629389

I know miners make good money, but too scary for me. Praying for miners and their families.
