Owners deny responsibility in Turkish mine accident
- 10 years ago
The operators of the Turkish mine that collapsed and killed 284 people are denying any negligence. The owners said there was not an electrical fault as first reported, but a buildup of heat partly caused the partial collapse. Around 18 people remain trapped underground. And the number of casualties is expected to pass 300. The exact cause is still unknown. Al Jazeera's Andrew Simmons reports from Soma.
