Underground Gas Explosions

Scientists said this study could provide scientists the knowledge on how to safely store hydrogen fuel or other explosive gases underground or in rocks.

A deadly methane gas explosion tore through a coal mine in western Ukraine on Thursday, killing at least eight miners in the latest pit disaster to hit the ex-Soviet state. As rescuers scrambled to save those trapped underground there was confusion over the exact number of people killed in the blast.

At least 24 people were killed and 271 injured when several underground gas explosions ripped through Taiwan's second-largest city, hurling concrete and cars through the air and blasting trenches in the streets, authorities said, as a search for the cause began.

A series of underground gas explosions killed 20 people and injured 270 others late Thursday in Taiwan's second-largest city, authorities said.

Seven miners were killed and two others are missing after a gas explosion ripped through an underground coal mine in eastern Ukraine, authorities said on Friday.

More than 200 people have been killed and hopes are fading for hundreds more still trapped underground after an explosion at a coal mine in western Turkey, one of the worst industrial disasters ever to hit the country.

A fire triggered by a natural gas explosion that appeared to have originated underground engulfed a restaurant in Kansas City, Missouri, on Tuesday, injuring at least a half dozen people, authorities said.

Eleven miners were trapped underground on Sunday after a gas explosion ripped through a coal mine in northwest China, local officials said.
