Mine Disaster Na Nové jáme, Orlová, Czech republic - Disaster Memorials on Waymarking.com

20. kvetna 1919, pul hodiny po poledni, došlo pri strílení v predku západní hlavní trídy sloje Kazimír II v pátém patre k výbuchu traskavých plynu.

Nezustalo však jen u jedné exploze. Nekolik desítek vterin poté, co si vzduchový náraz stacil vyražením vetrních a izolacních dverí uvolnit cestu až do rubání nad tretím patrem a zvírit tam uhelný prach, jen nedostatecné polévaný vodou, následoval druhý, katastrofální výbuch uhelného prachu, asi od nekteré dulní lampy. Neštestí si vyžádalo 92 lidských životu a radu dalších zranení. Jen 32 obetí mohlo být vyvezeno na povrch, protože dulní požár, který dokonal dílo zkázy, si vynutil uzavrení celé postižené cásti dolu.

Tretí exploze plynu, které se nahromadily po nedokonalém uzavrení vetrní jámy na Veverce pod šachetní uzáverkou a unikaly tudy na povrch na vzduch, si už naštestí nevyžádala další obeti. Došlo k ní 26. cervna. Výbuch vyrazil ústím vetrní jámy na povrch, došlo však už jen k hmotným škodám. Teprve následujícího dne se podarilo plameny uhasit a jámu neprodyšne uzavrít, což umožnilo po vycerpání kyslíku zlikvidovat ohen i v dole.

On May 20, 1919, half an hour after noon, explosive gases exploded during the shooting in front of the western main street of the Casimir II seam on the fifth floor.

However, there was not a single explosion left. A few tens of seconds after the air blast was enough to clear the wind and insulating doors to clear the third floor and swirl coal dust there, only insufficiently watered, followed by a second, catastrophic explosion of coal dust, probably from some mine lamp. The disaster claimed 92 lives and caused many more injuries. Only 32 victims could be brought to the surface, because a mine fire, which completed the work of destruction, forced the closure of the entire affected part of the mine.

Fortunately, the third explosion of gases that had accumulated after the imperfect closure of the Squirrel's wind pit under the shaft shutter and leaked to the surface, required no further casualties. It happened on June 26. The blast hit the surface of the wind pit, but there was only material damage. It was only the next day that the flames were extinguished and the pit was sealed, which made it possible to extinguish the fire in the mine after the oxygen depletion.
