The site’s unstable geology and seismic risks likely caused the blast, echoing past disasters in the region, including a coal mine explosion and a tunnel collapse that lasted seventeen days. Survivors recall the blast happening during lunch, with one using a food delivery vehicle to escape—while their supervisor returned to check on the blast and perished. Rescue efforts continue under extreme danger, with teams battling toxic air and flooding to reach the trapped.
