A methane gas explosion on Tuesday caused the collapse of an underground chamber of a Turkish coal mine in northwestern Turkey, trapping more than two dozen workers, an official said Tuesday.
The blast occurred at a mine near the town of Dursunbey in Balikesir province. Ruhi Yilmaz, the mayor of Dursunbey, said more than two dozen workers were still trapped but "no one was reported dead." (AP)
