A three day period of mourning and respect is being held here in North Cyprus. I t has already extended longer to maybe even one week. All entertainment has also been cancelled voluntarily. Also in people's minds is the fact that notices regarding the danger of the mines were put in during April and declined/rejected by Erdogan's party. Just weeks before the disaster. Plus there have been lies on the number of refuge areas in the mines when there was only one! And the oxygen masks had only enough oxygen for 5 minutes and were never checked in years. In fact a sad case is of father and son in mine together, the father found the son and they dies together - this is not meant to be that families are in the mine together.
Plus another fact is that 14 miners found the 'refuge' where there were oxygen masks but they were all found together in a heap on the ground as they had shared the oxygen masks available for the very SHORT time that the supply lasted. Then they ALL DIED WHEN IT RAN OUT.
4000 accidents in China BUT one guy could survive ( horrendously for the poor man) for 17 YEARS!
Definitely our fellow humankind are being treated as sub humans in all of this and Erdogan has the gaul to compare their mines to UK in the 19 hundreds!
I pray he has lost any credibility he ever had with the gullible South East that he increased income for - as well as bribing with money in the elections. Hopefully his days are now well and truly over but who to take over. I personally wish Abdullah Gul - who has empathy - takes over but the irony is Erdogan wants his job!
Cant wait to see if our hero Putin has a comment about all this and I hope the Russian health and Safety record has improved - and everywhere else for that matter.
