– Each of the victims suffered a mechanically crushed chest, which caused vital functions to cease – said “Gazeta Wrocławska” Lidia Tkaczyszyn, a spokesperson for the Legnica District Prosecutor’s Office. An investigation is underway to determine whether the tragedy could have been avoided and whether those responsible for work safety at ZG Rudna neglected their duties.
Let us recall: on Tuesday, 29 November, a disaster occurred at the Rudna mine near Polkowice. The ground collapsed at a depth of 1,100 metres. The tremor occurred at 9:09 p.m. It was felt even in Bolesławiec, and many readers reported this information to us.
As a result of the disaster, two miners from Bolesławiec were killed. Miner Paweł Piwowarski was luckier.
