108 years ago today, January 11, 1917 (December 18, 1916, the lunar calendar), a gas explosion occurred in Fushun Coal Mine in China, killing more than 900 miners. On January 11, 1917, a gas explosion occurred in Fushun Coal Mine in China, killing more than 900 miners. At 10:40 a.m. on January 11, 1917, a transformer caught fire in the Dashankeng underground of Fushun Carbon Mine, causing a gas explosion, and the fire immediately broke out. In order to protect the mine, Japan took measures to seal the mine regardless of the life and death of the people underground, resulting in the tragic death of more than 970 miners underground, causing the largest tragedy in Fushun Coal Mine since mining. The well sealing was not completed until January 13. On January 13, Micang Qingzu, the director of Fushun Coal Mine Mine, telegraphed the situation of the Dashankeng accident to the president of the "Manchurian Railway":"The closure of Dashankeng will end at 11 a.m. today." At that time, there were more than 2,000 coal miners in Dashankeng, working in two shifts. Almost one shift of miners died underground. After the underground explosion, the blower stopped running due to the power outage, the downwind port caught fire, and the upwind port became an air inlet. This port did not contain fireworks and could completely organize the rescue of underground miners. However, the Japanese side was eager to close the upwind port and ignore underground workers. According to the memories of survivors of the accident,"If rescued in time, most workers would not have died. However, for the sake of coal, the evil invaders ignored the lives of China people. The devils forced the people in the well to seal the wellhead with yellow mud. The workers had no way to escape, and about 1000 people died in the pit." In fact, as early as April 15, 1916, a major spontaneous fire accident occurred in the eastern section of Dashankeng Nei. Japan immediately sealed off the eastern section of the pit well, and 150 China workers were trapped in the well and all died. In response, Japan did not take any preventive measures at all. It only filled the closed coal shaft with soil and sand to extinguish the fire, and resumed coal mining eight days later, resulting in a bigger accident nine months later. The Japanese invaders do not regard China miners as human beings
