17 recorded deaths, 18 actual deaths due to explosion underground. fire was detected but unable to be extinguished, then boom. a highly sad and unfortunate event with many people still grieving to this day. unfortunately, money has always been more important than lives and though many new and improved methods have been implemented in safety there will always be 'disasters' when mining. you can always type box flat colliery into Google search for more infirmation.
