When according to officials almost 120 people are still trapped inn, even after great effort, because blazing fire is playing a vital role of great hinder in the mine to reach remaining people. On the other hand, emergency workers are still searching for survivors after this disastrous explosion in mine.

It is fairly stated on the calling of people to wear black, “Hundreds of our workers have been left to die from the very beginning by being forced to work in cruel production processes to achieve maximum profits.”
“We call on the working class and friends of laborers to stand up for our brothers in Soma.”

On the visit President Abdullah Gul “a great disaster”, and he vowed, to further prevent the accidents in turkey, all the possible actions will be taken. In future, Turkey will no longer be a nation with common mine explosions and cave-ins.

“Whatever necessary will be done. We need to review all the regulations, like all developed countries do, so that these accidents do not happen again.”

According to the report, more than 200 miners are trapped, 205 miner confirmed dead, and rescuers are still searching for trapped worker. This disaster is recorded as one of the worst disasters recorded in the history of Turkish mine disasters.

Recognition of bodies is another important thing, as bodies arrived on stretchers; rescue workers started pulling blankets off from dead body’s faces to provide jostling crowds of victim’s family members to give them chance to identify victim’s faces. An aged man wearing a prayer cap recognized a body, he wailed after police stopped him from climbing into the ambulance. Out of all the victims, youngest victim said to be 15 years old.

Explosion in mine caused Power cut that has slowed down the rescue operation.

Global warming is one factor causing irreversible collapse of Antarctic glaciers. According to researcher, it was previously estimated, in spite global climate change of the west Antarctic Ice sheet would last for thousands of years. But according to the new studies, researchers have clearly stated that the loss is on its way, changes are occurring more rapidly than expected. Oceans are warming up, causing rise of water level across the planet by another four feet within 200 years.

There are several factors causing water warming, but the major factors are Global warming and warming of planet caused by human activity that has depleted ozone, causing change in wind pattern.

“There is no red button to stop this,” said Eric Rignot, a University of California.

Antarctica Ocean has surrounded the South Pole, contains the largest mass of ice on the planet, it contains 80 percent of world’s fresh water estimably. The great consequences around the globe are the loss of even portion of ice.
According to the scientist, the problem compounds itself in several ways.

The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Washington focused largely on one of the six glaciers, the Thwaites Glacier. According to the study scientists has pinpointed how quickly the giant Thwaites might disappear, this can cause global sea levels to rise by 2 feet.This change holds a chaotic impact over Earth.

The University of Washington did experimental study using satellite measurements on computer models of glaciers to determine that the Thwaites might take minimum 200 years, or maximum 1,000 years.

“There is quite a bit of ongoing destabilization,” he said, and the disappearance would begin slowly and accelerate over time, with no available “stabilizing mechanism.”
