A mourning tragedy beneath the ground
A few days ago the Turkish media intimated that gas explosion in a mine trapped a few hundred miners in Soma, in the west of Turkey. As a result a few mine workings crumpled and blocked miners. It turned out that the exact number of miners is unclear, because the blast happened during a shift change. The media announces that 245 miners lost their lives due to carbon oxide and destruction of miner shafts. The rest of them cannot find a way of rescue are trapped/cannot find a rescue point, because the emergency elevator was damaged and it doesn't work properly. The accident moves into the critical phase, because time is crucial in such tragedies. My condolence for the families of the victims.
The subject matter is sobering, but your use of English is fantastic. :)
