No idea but I guess we'll see. I read where the safety violations only carried $250 fines so I don't necessarily think they are the problem. Methane gas is an inherent problem with coal mines. I don't believe there is anything that can prevent methane explosions.

Being a bit claustrophobic myself, I really, really hope they can get those miners out safely.
