Another
earthquake near Rudna, Poland
The
village of Rudna (Lubin area) had 3 miners killed and 9 injured when
a M4.5 quake struck near the underground copper mine in December
2010. This is the second similar Magnitude earthquake in only a
couple of weeks. These quakes are really dangerous for the people
working in the underground. Huge underground roads are allowing big
trucks to transport ore . The quakes are only moderate in strength
and will certainly not be damaging above the ground, but it is always
waiting for a green light from the copper mine to find out that all
the miners are OK. We will check local reports the coming days and
bring it to you if additional information is available.

was the article that we wrote at the time : 3 miners killed and 12injured by earthquake in Poland
