Coal dust in the air is an explosive mixture, because the mixture of coal and air can burn much more rapidly than solid pieces of coal can (flour in the air is also explosive, or sawdust - any flammable substance in the form of dust becomes explosive if it is mixed into the air). The process of mining coal is messy, and creates a lot of dust. And any spark can set it off. No smoking in the coal mines!
