The reason for the death of the mine rescuers in the Listvyazhnaya mine could be a sharp increase in the concentration of carbon monoxide, said the acting head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations Alexander Chupriyan. According to him, the rescuers had “their own devices”, but they “went and fell.”
“Why did they die? I can tell the opinion of experts: because the concentration of carbon monoxide has increased sharply. You can’t feel it, you can understand it only with a device. Moreover, they have their own devices, they see it all, they do express analysis of the gas mixture all the time. But this does not stop them, they are still moving forward. <...> I talked to the rescuers who were in this hell and who still managed to get out. They explained that people walked and fell, ”said Mr. Chupriyan on the air of the Soloviev Live YouTube channel.
The Acting Head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations said that the surviving rescuer Alexander Zakovryashin is in a consistently serious condition. Doctors expect him to “be okay.
According to Alexander Chupriyan, there were violations of the technological process at the mine. “An explosion just doesn’t happen,” he added. The acting head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations suggested that the means of objective control had not worked somewhere.
Smoke occurred in the Listvyazhnaya mine in the Kemerovo Region on November 25. 51 people died, including five rescuers. 60 victims remain in hospitals, 12 more are treated on an outpatient basis. Preliminarily, the explosion of methane is called the cause of the emergency. The court arrested all five defendants in connection with the mine accident.
