Mine accident near Sparwood spurs inspector concerns
British Columbia Mines Inspector Richard Booth says a preliminary report on the underground accident at the B C Coal mine near Sparwood is imminent but likely only the first of several and probably not released to the public. He notes faulting above a mined area caused a large rock fall and a violent wind blast that killed two miners. He dismisses explosion theories and cites sufficient ventilation as a factor, with a final public report expected in weeks.
