If there's no spark, there's no fire.

Yea.. but they don't know what the ORIGINAL ignition source was.

It could be electrical, or friction..

And from what I read, the overpressure from that blast makes it unlikely that anyone survived. If they had, they'd be crawling out right now.

So the question is whether it merits risking more lives until they have a better grasp on what caused the original blast and whether it might occur again.

I know if I were in that mine as a survivor, I would totally understand their caution. My life is not worth the loss of another individual. I'd just have to accept my fate and the fact that the blast probably "juiced" all my internal organs and I'm not long for this world.

But that's just my perspective.
