Friday's explosion at the state-owned Turkish Hard Coal Enterprise's (TTK) mine in the Black Sea town of Amasra killed 41 miners and injured 11. Five of the injured are in critical condition in an Istanbul hospital, suffering from burns that cover 65 to 85 per cent of their bodies, according to the health minister.
There were 110 miners when the blast occurred. Fifty-eight of them made it out on their own or were rescued.
"I asked them to show me and they showed me my child," the father said, describing his son's head injuries. "His hair, his mustache were all burned, his sides blackened, it's still in front of my eyes, I can't forget it.""Our pain is huge. What can I say? My daughter-in-law is at home, she's about to give birth in two or three days. My wife is doing very bad. She fainted two or three times and the same for my daughter-in-law," Recep Ayvaz said.
But Ayvaz's mother Habibe wasn't appeased. The 63-year-old said she heard there was a gas leak in the mine and questioned why her son was sent into it at all. A 2019 report by Turkey's Court of Accounts, which was shared by an opposition lawmaker and some media, said there were "serious accident risks" of firedamp explosions at a depth of 300 metres below sea level and urged the mine to follow inrush directives as gas content was already high where samples were taken.
