How many people died? Didn't hear a thing about this. I guess they are still looking for survivors.

- mrtksn 3y agoOfficially, 9 people are missing.
- Aeolun 3y agoOne of the posts here says they were working on the surface though. That does not strike me as survivable. I find it hard to imagine anything remains to be found.
- Towaway69 3y agoApparently the nine in question were working underground, there is probably no realistic chance of survival if massive amounts of earth are covering the entrances. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68287504 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68287504
- rightbyte 3y agoI guess working underground is your only chance of survival if in such a landslide?
- Towaway69 3y agoJust getting out might be an issue... Eventually oxygen will also become problematic. Electricity and lighting might also have gone. My feelings go out to the nine missing people.
- rightbyte 3y agoThose Chilean miners were down there for quite some time. But ye the outlook is not good. I guess there is a fundamental difference in how these mines collapsed. Unless any pocket would have some "earth radio", undamaged telephone line or something I don't see how the rescuers even would begin knowing where to look.
- dark-star 3y agoThere's a high probability they weren't even on site and had a coworker clock in for them, or something like that. They might still be enjoying the wedding of a 3rd grade cousin somewhere in the countryside, oblivious to what has happened ;-) At least that's what my turkish coworker told me last week
