Best Answer

they might mine under building which will leave the buildings on top less balance onto the ground so they might cave in on them.

Also because the walls might be ancient so they might start to crack and break.

HOPE THIS HELPS! :)

Any kind of mining is dangerous. You've got millions of tons or rock above your head, and you're cutting away the rock that supports it. Also there are threats like hitting invisible pockets of poisonous gas, scentless (and also, explosive), which can kill before you even realise it is there.
