The Mistake That Killed 162 (The Ozone Disco Disaster)
The in-depth story of the Ozone Disco Disaster 1996. In the heart of Manila, amidst a vibrant nightlife scene, a seemingly ordinary Monday evening at a club quickly descends into chaos and horror.
What was meant to be a joyous celebration marking the end of the school year for many students turned into a devastating tragedy that would scar the Philippines forever.
From the initial signs of trouble to the rapid escalation of the fire, we uncover the shocking truths behind the inadequate safety measures, non-compliance with regulations, and the grave oversight that plagued the establishment. March 18, 1996. Around 350 patrons that night in their late teens and their 20s plus 40 employees crammed under the 540 feet club, 10 times the approved occupancy of the club. Entrance to the clubw sa a narrow staircase that led to a large dance floor lined with tables and chairs. Walls were covered in black draping and neon lights illuminated the room with shades of blue and purple, creating an electric atmosphere. Ozone Drico made the most of its limited floor space to create a vibrant party experience for its patrons, the DJ booth took stage in front of the dance floor with a store room for technical equipment nearby. The ceiling was adorned with ddecorative egg cartons adding an unique touch to the club's ambience. Walls were lined with acoustic foam to control the noise and enhance the sound quality. On the side, a semi circular bar covered a place to grab drinks and relax at tables and chairs. It would be these decorative materials that would fuel the deadly fire. The club also erected an elevated platform midway between the ceiling and the floor serving as an indoor balcony offering customers a vantage point of the pack dance floor. It's believed that this makeshift addition was made to accomodate the expected surge of guests during graduation promo.
Without obtaining the necessary city permits or undergoing inspections, the venue had a single emergency exit adjacent to a VIP room. But door was blocked by the establishment beside it, rendering it unsusable. Ina peculiar twist, doors opened inward, necessitating a pull instead of push. Inward swinging doors were supposed to a good way to keep money and fortune flowing. This design flaw would proove to be a deadly decision. As the night went on, the club became even more crowded. DJ played a mix of disco, pop and R and B hits. The crowd danced and sang along with the music. But before midnight, a spark emanating from the bottom of the DJ booth changed everything. Some at first assumed it was part of the club's special effects. Within seconds the spark traveled towards the ceiling, fueled by the decorative elements. Wires above DJ caught fire and he couldn't use the microphone to alert the crowd. Ceiling erupted in flames Light fixtures overhead collapses as did the entire mezzanine structure tragically crushing those beneath. Thick smoke began eveloping club, plunging it into darkness while the relentless flames provided the only illuminations amidst the chaotic scene. A stampede ensued intensifying the already challenging task of finding an escape route. People began to scramble toward the narrow stairway that led to the club's only exit, creating a crush that killed many patrons. Those who could reach areas beyond the dance floor faced the building's inward swinging doors. Due to their design, the crowd unintentionally impeded their path to safety, further exacerbating the perilous situation. Reports suggest that the guards outside of the building became aware of the events inside the club, and mistaking it as a riot, they decided to lock the doors. Inside the blazing structure, the flames smoke from construction material and furnishing contained a hazardous blend of highly toxic and suffocating substances. Another thing is occurence of backdrafts.
Fire consumed almost all oxygen. When a sudden influx was introduced as the 2 inward swinging doors opened dramatic backdraft ensued, resulting in colossal fireball as the superheated gases explosively ignited. Everyone in the hallway was forcefully struck to the ground. Firefighters in the other hand had to face the heavy traffic in narrow streets, whch delayed their response time. Absence of nearby fire hydrants further compounded the challenge, limiting their ability to respond effectively. Nea door and hallways, there were piles of bodies. Lack of safety measures and hazardous design made it difficult to control the blaze. It took 2 hours to bring the fire under control. It's one of the most devastating nightclub fire in the world. Investigators unveiled a serie of flaws and oversights that played a crucial role in the tragedy. The fire was caused by a faulty electrical wiring in an overloaded circuit. Club's interior, featuring flammable and inadequate fireproofing facilitated the rapid spread of the blaze. The building also lacked adequate emergency exits. The only emergency exit was unusable due to the construction of an adjoining building. Furthermore the venue failed to meet basic fire safety regulations such as clearly amrked exits, fire alarms, water sprinklers, and functional fire extinguishers. The expedited construction process which evaded in inspections and proper permit acquisition allowed ozone disco to operate despite the failure to meet the ncessary safety requirements. All of this combined with the venue's overcapacity and poorly designed doors created a storm of hazards. Following a 18 years old legal battle, the nightclub's owner fellow stockholders and 7 city's officials were convicted of grafts and received sentences up to 10 years in prison. Court found that the officials issued the club with safety permits without the ncessary safety checks. 2 company executives were fined with 440 000 dollar and the company paid 35 000 to the relatives.

Trapped Inside - Kursk Submarine Explosion (Documentary)
Part 1
When it was commissioned in 1994, the nuclear submarine K-141 “Kursk” was one of the most powerful assets of the Russian Navy. The size of two jumbo jets, it was considered impenetrable, indestructible - a deadly predator lurking beneath the surface. In August 2000, for its crew, the mammoth attack sub became nothing more than a steel coffin lying on the bottom of the sea, with no way to escape. August 10th, 2000, Kursk joined the ‘Summer-X’ exercise in the Barents Sea, not far from the port of Murmansk. This was the first large-scale naval exercise in more than a decade. Beside some of the largest Russian vessels such as aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov and battlecruiser Pyotr Velikiy included thirty ships, four attack submarines, and a flotilla of smaller vessels.
Newly elected president Vladimir Putin was resolved to show the world his army was still one of the mightiest forces in the world. On the morning of August 12th, Kursk was tasked with attacking the Pyotr Velikiy battlecruiser with dummy torpedoes. As the Northern Fleet turned toward Kursk, the submarine remained silent.
Everyone was expecting Kursk to emerge victoriously, but unbeknownst to them, the country’s worst post-Soviet naval catastrophe was unfolding. It seemed unbelievable that a submarine like Kursk could have disappeared out of the blue. After all, Project 949A Antey, NATO codename Oscar II, subs were the largest cruise missile submarines in the world.
Designed by the Soviet Union’s Central Design Bureau “Rubin,” Kursk’s keel was laid in Severodvinsk Port in 1992. Named in honor of Soviet victory in the legendary World War Two battle, Kursk was launched in 1994, commissioned into the Russian Navy's Northern Fleet, and assigned to the 7th SSGN Division of the 1st Submarine Flotilla. Everything about Kursk was gigantic.
154 meters long [505 feet] and 18. 2 meters [60ft] wide, it displaced 24,000 tons when submerged. Two nuclear reactors propelled the submarine, each with the power of 190 megawatts, along with two turbines delivering 49,000 horsepower each.
Kursk was armed with 24 P-700 “Granit” cruise missiles, NATO codename “Shipwreck”. Besides Granit missiles, Kursk also carried 28 torpedoes or anti-submarine missiles. The submarine had ten watertight compartments and double hull construction.
Its outer hull was made of 8 millimeter steel plates [0. 3 inches] and covered by 8 centimeters of rubber [3 inches]. The inner hull was much more robust and built high-quality 5 centimeter steel plates [2 inches].
The construction was so strong its designers claimed it could withstand a direct hit from a torpedo. When on August 12, 2000, Kursk sank, it happened in a fashion that neither the crew nor submarine constructors could have ever imagined. There hadn’t been the slightest hint that morning that tragedy might happen.
On the contrary, everyone aboard the K-141 Kursk was ready for action. The morale was high, with 118 personnel on board. The Kursk crew was awarded the title of the best crew of the Northern Fleet.
Their submarine was indestructible! There was nothing on earth that could go wrong. As mentioned, the “Summer-X” exercise was the first of its scale.
Kursk was supposed to show what it was made for - to be a large-vessel-killer. The submarine joined the exercise on August 10. A massive shoot-out from all vessels took place that day.
Kursk showed its muscles by launching a Granit cruising missile while submerged. Two days later, the submarine commander, Captain First Rank Gennady Lyachin, prepared its vessel for another exercise task, attacking the Pyotr Velikiy battlecruiser. A dummy Type 65 “Kit” torpedo was to be used for the job.
These torpedoes were powerful enough to sink an aircraft carrier. That morning of August 12th, at 8:51 am, Captain Lyachin requested permission to start the torpedo training launch, which the HQ approved. Lyachin ordered his men to prepare the first of two dummy torpedoes for launching.
Kursk had its periscope lifted and had a target on sight. At 11:29 am, sailors at the torpedo compartment loaded the first torpedo into the number-4 tube on the starboard side. Back at the North Fleet HQ, staff overseeing the exercise were waiting for the confirmation of the hit but received nothing but silence.
However, the hydroacoustics at Pyotr Velikiy detected something strange. They reported a signal similar to an underwater explosion. A few minutes later the ship's entire hull shuddered, and the hydroacoustics detected a powerful signal.
The Fleet HQ was immediately informed, but ignored the report as irrelevant. Before we unravel what happened at Summer-X, here’s a word from today’s sponsor: World of Warships is a team-based sea battle video game available for free on PC. With over 44 million players, it is an incredibly interactive gameplay environment that allows you to not only use different strategies and tactics, but to also play with your friends in division.
This game features over 400 historical ships that you can steer through beautiful maps with unique living landscapes. But that's not all, you are in complete control of these ships and can customize them in any way you see fit. There are five classes: destroyers, battleships, cruisers, aircraft carriers, and submarines.
Each one having their own exclusive perks. Imagine with Godzilla as a commander of your ship? or Kong?
Nobody is stopping you. What about the incredible characters from Azur Lane or even battles against Giant Monsters from Big Hunt? When you download World of Warships through the link below, and use the code FIRE when registering, you can enjoy a huge starter pack, 200 doubloons, 1 million credits, a tier 5 USS Texas, 20x restless fire camouflage, and seven days of a premium account.
Now that is a steal. Now go check out World of Warships and battle among your friends. For the next two hours that the firing exercise was planned to last, no one wondered if anything strange happened to the Kursk.
There was no report about the course of exercise from the submarine, not even a single message. Only at 13:30, when the scheduled exercise time expired, Fleet Commander Admiral Vyacheslav Alekseyevich Popov aboard Pyotr Velikiy sent a helicopter to locate Kursk, but with no result. Finally, when Kursk didn’t appear on the surface 45 minutes after the exercise was over, the fleet commander began to suspect something had happened.
In the upcoming hours, Kursk failed to send a scheduled communication check. That was a signal to look for the submarine. At 17:30, Fleet’s search and rescue team was given a standby order.
The North Fleet commander sent reconnaissance aircraft to search. Half an hour before midnight, the Northern Fleet declared an emergency alert connected to an accident on a nuclear submarine K-141 "Kursk. ” The exercise was stopped, and all vessels searched for the missing leviathan throughout the night.
Locating a sunk submarine should not be difficult, considering they were equipped with emergency rescue buoys. In case of any kind of emergency, these buoys would be activated automatically and float to the surface, signaling nearby ships about the vessel’s location in danger. The problem with Kursk was that the buoy was nowhere to be found.
Luckily, at 04:50 am on August 13, Pyotr Velikiy’s echo sounder detected two seafloor anomalies. Rescue ship Mikhail Rudnitsky arrived at the location carrying two deep-submergence rescue vehicles called DSRV. The inspection of the seabed at the site began at 10:00.
The vessel was lying on a seabed at a depth of 108 meters [354 feet], listing at a 25-degree angle and down 5–7 degrees by the bow. Footage from a deep-water camera showed the boat severely damaged from the bow to its sail. Now, a struggle began to attach DSRVs to an escape hatch at the ninth compartment.
Judging by the scale of the damage, there was little chance that anyone survived the accident. But, if there were survivors, the ninth compartment would surely be their place to wait for rescue. For six days, Russian DSRVs contested harsh weather attempting to dock to the escape hatch.
Unfortunately, the Russians failed to do so each time they approached the sub. The rescue hatch was so damaged that it made the task impossible. A number of foreign countries offered Russia help in rescuing the sailors but the government in Moscow refused them all.
In the meantime, Russian authorities tried to cover up the accident. On August 13, Northern Fleet commander, Admiral Vyacheslav Popov disregarded that Kursk was missing and presented the exercise as a complete success. However, rumors of something going wrong reached the families of sailors.
They gathered at the Northern Fleet HQ, demanding answers. Finally, on August 14, Popov gave in and informed the public that the Kursk had "minor technical difficulties" and had been forced to descend to the seabed. He lied, though, that communication was established with the sailors inside and that they delivered the oxygen and electricity to them via special links.
The truth was all the attempts to reach the potential survivors had failed. On August 17, five days after the accident, President Vladimir Putin finally accepted foreign offers to help. Two days later, the Norwegian ships Normand Pioneer and Seaway Eagle arrived, along with the British rescue sub LR5.

Luckily, at 04:50 am on August 13, Pyotr Velikiy’s echo sounder detected two seafloor anomalies. Rescue ship Mikhail Rudnitsky arrived at the location carrying two deep-submergence rescue vehicles called DSRV. The inspection of the seabed at the site began at 10:00.
The vessel was lying on a seabed at a depth of 108 meters [354 feet], listing at a 25-degree angle and down 5–7 degrees by the bow. Footage from a deep-water camera showed the boat severely damaged from the bow to its sail. Now, a struggle began to attach DSRVs to an escape hatch at the ninth compartment.
Judging by the scale of the damage, there was little chance that anyone survived the accident. But, if there were survivors, the ninth compartment would surely be their place to wait for rescue. For six days, Russian DSRVs contested harsh weather attempting to dock to the escape hatch.
Unfortunately, the Russians failed to do so each time they approached the sub. The rescue hatch was so damaged that it made the task impossible. A number of foreign countries offered Russia help in rescuing the sailors but the government in Moscow refused them all.
In the meantime, Russian authorities tried to cover up the accident. On August 13, Northern Fleet commander, Admiral Vyacheslav Popov disregarded that Kursk was missing and presented the exercise as a complete success. However, rumors of something going wrong reached the families of sailors.
They gathered at the Northern Fleet HQ, demanding answers. Finally, on August 14, Popov gave in and informed the public that the Kursk had "minor technical difficulties" and had been forced to descend to the seabed. He lied, though, that communication was established with the sailors inside and that they delivered the oxygen and electricity to them via special links.
The truth was all the attempts to reach the potential survivors had failed. On August 17, five days after the accident, President Vladimir Putin finally accepted foreign offers to help. Two days later, the Norwegian ships Normand Pioneer and Seaway Eagle arrived, along with the British rescue sub LR5.

Part 2 Kursk submarine.
The Norwegian divers immediately got to work, but Russian authorities denied them access to the escape hatch. The Russians feared that foreign divers could gather intelligence about their submarine. The Norwegians strongly protested.
All their effort would be futile if they could not work on the submarine hull. They ultimately reached a compromise: Norwegian divers were allowed to open the boat, but only Russian divers could enter it. On August 21, nine days after the sinking, Norwegian divers cut the holes in the submarine hull with the help of a special high-velocity water cutting machine.
The Russian divers entered the sub through the 8th compartment. In the 9th, the rearmost compartment, they found the lifeless bodies of 23 sailors. These had been the last survivors of the Kursk.
A message found in the pocket of Captain-lieutenant Dmitry Kolesnikov, revealed the final hours of their lives. I am writing blindly. The time is 13:15.
All personnel from sections six, seven, and eight have moved to section nine. There are 23 people here. We made this decision because none of us can escape.
It’s too dark to write here, but I’ll try. It looks like we have no chance, maybe 10-20 percent. I hope that someday someone will read this.
Don’t despair. The sailors lived for some time after the accident before they were left out of oxygen. A later investigation discovered that they accidentally ignited one of the oxygen regeneration canisters.
As a result, the last drops of oxygen that kept them alive were consumed by fire. On the same day that divers entered the submarine, the chief of staff of the Russian Northern Fleet, Vice Admiral Mikhail Motsak, announced to the public that none of the 118 sailors aboard the Kursk had survived the accident. Northern Fleet commander, Admiral Vyacheslav Popov, asked the families of killed sailors for forgiveness.
But the victims’ families were furious. Not even President Putin and his address could stop the rage of those who lost their loved ones. Families were unsatisfied with how the Navy handled the rescue operation, how they treated them, and, after all, they demanded to know how their loved ones were killed.
Already on August 14, the Russian authorities came up with a scenario of what happened to Kursk. Fleet Admiral Vladimir Kuroyedov claimed that the sinking of the submarine resulted from a collision with a NATO submarine. The Russians knew NATO subs were shadowing the exercises.
They claimed that either USS Memphis or USS Toledo or even the British HMS Splendid had entered the restricted area, collided with Kursk, and sent it to the bottom of the sea. For a moment, it seemed as if the Cold War had revived. The U.S. Secretary of State rejected the claims, assuring the Russians and the world that such a scenario did not happen but also that it was impossible. First of all, it was unlikely that USS Memphis, with a displacement less than half of Kursk's, could have damaged Kursk without suffering at least the same level of damage itself.
Besides, Kursk was designed to withstand the hit of a torpedo, so a collision with another, smaller submarine would not cause such severe damage. Seismic measurements picked up by a station in Norway during the exercise also showed something else. They detected an initial seismic event in the area where exercise was being held at 11 : 29 : 34.
Then, at 11 : 31 : 48, they recorded a second event similar to the first one, but 250 times larger. Both measured shock waves were typical for torpedo blasts. So, was it a torpedo that sank Kursk?
If a NATO submarine didn’t collide with Kursk, was it possible that the Americans sank the Russian submarine with a torpedo? The official report released by the Russian government brought clarity in July 2002. It was a torpedo that sank Kursk, but not one from a NATO submarine.
It wasn’t from a friendly sub, either. Kursk was sunk by its own torpedo! The Type 65-76A “Kit” torpedo that Kursk was armed with was a modified 650 mm torpedo from the early 1970s.
It was designed to attack and destroy American aircraft carriers, large submarines, and merchant vessels. It was a powerful torpedo, with a drawback that rendered it extremely dangerous for use. Type 65 torpedoes were fueled with hydrogen peroxide.
Being an oxidizer, hydrogen peroxide combined with kerosene made a powerful fuel that gave Type 65 torpedoes a range of up to 100 km. The problem with hydrogen peroxide is that it is extremely unstable when in contact with catalysts such as copper or bronze. Such contacts may cause spontaneous combustion.
That was exactly what happened with Kursk. A dummy torpedo that was to be used for practice had a faulty weld that allowed the hydrogen peroxide to leak out and react with copper and bronze elements on the torpedo. The torpedo burst into flames, causing the explosion of 1,000 kilograms [2,200 lb] concentrated hydrogen peroxide and 500 kilograms [1,100 lb] kerosene.
The resulting fire in the torpedo section set off a second explosion of five to seven combat-ready torpedoes each with 450-kilogram [990 lb] warheads. This second explosion blew off the entire bow, killing most of the crew and sending the Kursk to the bottom of the sea. The blast was so powerful the seismic stations in Alaska, 4500 kilometers away [2800 miles], registered it.
The first explosion should have been contained by the bulkhead between the first and the second compartment if a pressurized valve in the ventilation system had been closed. But the valve was left open, allowing the fire to spread to the fourth compartment, instantly killing everyone in the control room, radio room, and quarters. That explains why no distress signal was sent from the submarine.
As for the emergency rescue buoy, its failure was credited to a mission taking place one year prior. At the time, Kursk was shadowing U. S.
Navy ships. Fearing that the buoy might reveal their presence, it was intentionally disabled but then never put back to work. Luckily, the fifth compartment where nuclear reactors were located resisted the explosion.
As a result, both reactors shut down automatically, avoiding an even bigger catastrophe. Sailors who loaded dummy torpedoes in the submarine did notice fuel was seeping through a faulty weld. Junior officers to whom they reported the incident took no action as they were busy preparing the vessels for the exercise.
If only they had followed the strict procedure for preparing the torpedo, the tragedy would have probably been avoided. Along with the issue of hydrogen peroxide leaking, the official Government report emphasized "stunning breaches of discipline, shoddy, obsolete and poorly maintained equipment" as well as "negligence, incompetence, and mismanagement" as reasons for the tragedy. Despite the accusation brought in the official report, the Prosecutor General filed no charges.
Instead, he stated that a technical malfunction of the torpedo caused the accident. Needless to say, the decision infuriated the families of the killed sailors. They knew their loved ones died because of someone’s negligence, and yet no one was going to pay for it.
In October-November 2000, divers recovered twelve bodies from the submarine. The rest of them remained trapped inside Kursk for another year. In October, 2001, fourteen months after the accident, a Dutch company Mammoet raised Kursk from the seafloor and transferred it to the Roslyakovo Shipyard in Murmansk.

The in-depth story of the Gare de Lyon rail accident disaster 1988. In the blink of an eye, a weekday commute into Paris transforms into a waking nightmare. As a crowded train barrels down the tracks completely out of control, its helpless passengers can only brace for the catastrophic impact to come... 75 minutes ride from Milan to Gare de Lyon in Paris, a daily commute for some. Not this time. The train approach its usual station, le Vert de Maison. But due to change in the summer timetable it doesn't stop here. As the train passes the station, something unexpected happens as a passenger in the second carriage jumps up and pulls the emergency brake, bringing train to an abrupt halt. They then run out of the carriage. Behind the train, control driver Daniel Saulin finds himself grappling with the fallout of the emergency brake activation. He heads to reset the brakes between the drjver's cabin and the first passenger car along with the conductor Jean-Charles Bovée. Saulin finds the lever stuck, grabs another handle nearby handler for leverage but the brakes are still locked. When he returns to his cabin, the driver now thinks there is too much air in the pneumatic brake system. After emergency brake was activated, he believes letting out the air manually will fix the problem. Instead of calling the engineers like they should, Saulin and Bovée both release air from the brakes on all 7 passenger cars. When Saulin gets back to his seat, everything seems to be working and he heads towards Gare de Lyon. But Saulin didn't realize that he triggered a chain of unseen events, starting with a malfunctioning brake system. Over half an hour behind the schedule, Saulin is ordered to skip the stop ahead of Gare de Lyon. They pass Maisons Alfort station without slowing down, a crucial decision that will come to light later. Meanwhile on Gare de Lyon, an outbound train has been delayed on platform 2 because its conductor hasn't arrived.
Its front carriage is right next to the main staircase to the underground platform so most passengers found their seats in the first car. As the outbound train waits, even more passengers than usual board it, crowding the carriage with frustrated commuters. Saulin's train, headed towards station 2, now speeding down the slope towards Gare de Lyon at over 96 km per hour.Warning signal urges the driver to slow down, signaling the upcoming descend into the station. But when he applies the brakes, they are only barely working, slowing only the train down from 96 to 45 km per hour. Soon the gravity overpowers the brakes, causing it to accelerate again. The 300 tons train hudle out out of control less than a mile from a packed station. Saulin begins to panic . But to prevent collisions, railways staff had set up advanced systems to automatically send incoming trains to empty platforms in situations like these. But next events would override these fail safes. THe driver alerts the control room He asked to stop everything since he had no brakes, triggering a high pitched alarm that echoes through the control rooms center and driver cabins of all commuter trains nearby. Alarm activates a general closure protocal which grounds the entire network to a halt. Every train in immediate vicinity of Gare de Lyon is stopped. The protocol also cancels the preset tracks diversion. Even through traffic signalers know there is a runaway train, they have no clue which of the 4 trains headed inbound has lost control because Saulin failed to identify himself. Saulin rushes out of his cabin to the passengers on the rear carriage to brace for impact but this also means that he is out of contact with station control. Meanwhile at Gare de Lyon the outbound conductor arrived. With a high pitched alarm disrupting all communications, leaving him and the driver unaware of the impending danger.
At 7 : 08 pm the runaway trian barrels down into the station and its passengers race for impact. Officials try to alert everyone but the runaway train is less than 1 minute away. With seconds left, a call to evacuate the stationary train on platform 2 goes out. The conductor and some passengers managed to jumf off but the outbound driver bravely stays on the train to relay the evacuation message to passengers as Saulin's train bullets at full speed towards train. The tunaway train collides violently with the waiting commuter train. The locomotive knifes up and plows through the cars, tearing hte aluminium shells of the carriages to shreds. 2 stationary train cars are crushed like a tin can while the engine of the runaway train is lodged into one of the other carriage. After the crash, first responders arrive within 10 minutes to help survivors. The passagers of the Saulin train managed to escape with minor injuries. But among the survivors, around 60 people suffered serious injuries. Investigations searched why the brakes failed, why rerouting measures didn't work? Why were passengers left unaware? Initially terrorist act was suspected, especially when the investigators found that the main brake pipe valve had been closed, cutting off the flow of compressed air, rendering the brakes useless for all carriages behind the driver's cabin. But only someone with detailed knowledge of the braking system could have done this. They quickly focused on finding the person who pulled the emergency break. Eventually a 21 years old mother came forward. She was on the train to pick her 3 kids from school. Unaware that the train no longer stopped at La Vert de Maisons station due to revised timetable, she pulled teh emergency brakes to prevent her childrens from waiting alone.

The in-depth story of the Lengede Mining Disaster and Rescue of 1963.
Deep beneath the Earth, a group of miners cling to life. They are trapped in the darkness of a small tunnel and know that from this location, there's no way out. With no food or water, their last torch died long ago. No one remembers when. They don’t even know how long they’ve been down here. Days? Weeks? It doesn’t matter, though. It’s the unending thirst, desperation, and premonition of death that torments them more. They need a miracle to survive... It was on October 24th, in 1963 in West Germany. 2 horus after the start of the shift, lights went out in the mine then the conveyor belts stopped working. Similar things happened before when someone pierced a power cable. However strange gurgling noise started to echo through the corridors. A train driver in the pit was the first to discover the torrent of water and mud, a sedimentation pond above the mine collapsed and broke into the tunnels.between the 200 and 330 foot levels. 18 million of cubic feet of muddy water started filling its tunnels. Most miners ran toward the nearest and only escape route : the ventilation rises. built primarly to provide airflow to the underground tunnels and regulate temperature. Ventilation rises were equipped with ladders due to safety regulations. Thanks to this feature, they becamethe sole lifeline that led to the surface. Up there, the management set off an alarm. Someone sent the emergency call from the mine before the telephone lines broke. The leaking pond had to be sealed as soon as possible while men under had to be evacuated. Heavy trucks unloaded tons of rubble and wooden blocks into the pond hoping to plug the hole and stop the flow of water. Management ordered to all air compressors to keep working at full power to supply compressed air to any survivors trapped underground and stopped the water from filling the tunnels.
By night time, the water stopped his flow and miners kept emerging from ventilation holes. Of the 129 people inside, 79 escaped. 50 men were still down here. 5 hours after, the namangement formed a command and control team to rescue the trapped Heavy equipments arrived from neighboring pits and other parts of western Germany. Apart from not knowing if there were survivors, the question was where should they look for them. Search began with survivor statements about where the miners were when the water broke in. Engineers used plans to identify potential refuge spots and best option at that moment was to drill randomly at specific location. The following day after 3 drilling attempts rescuers located 7 trapped miners. Once contact was established, the group communicated that the water level dropped They would try to escape on their own. A group of miners with search lights entered the flood site to meet their trapped friends and the group escaped with the help of makeshift raft. With 7 people saved, there were 43 to go. Management believed that other took shelter in a possible air bubble inside the cavity 260 feet below the surface Pinponting exact location of cavity from surface is difficult. For 2 days, teams performed search drilling to find any sign of life. After making each hole, they would lower microphones on ropes and listen but there was nothing but the noise of dripping water. The on the third day of rescue operation, drilling team heard a distant knock, there were people down here and alive. The group was indeed trappped in an air bubble. There were 4 of them initially but 1 drowned. After escaping to an elevated part of the corridor, the 4 remaining built barricades against the incoming water and opened the valves of the compressed air pipes. Due to overpressure, water stopped rising and miners were lef t with a small portion of the tunnel. Trapped miners received drinks and foods, also light and clothes from the surface.
However they still had to waot for a large bore drill to make an escape hole. On November 1st 1963, the drill broke into the tunnel at 4 : 30 pm. The team had to not disrupt the overpressure in the air bubble just in case the miners withdrew to the highest point of the tunnel. A specially designed rescue capsule called the Dahlbusch bomb was lowered into the mine to assist in the evacuation. Inside of it, a rescuer was tasked with helping the trapped miners enter the 15,2 inches wide capsule. Even if the end was near, recovery operation was not easy. The men spent a week in a high pressure air bubble, causing a lot of nitrogen to mix into their blood. If they returned to the surface too quickly, nitrogen bubbles could form in their bloodstream and cause life threatening decompression sickness. That's why rescue drills were fitted with a chamber that prevented the loss of pressure after being successfully withdrawn to the surface. ALl 3 miners spent 3 hours in the chamber, undergoing a gradual decompression. The operations outcome was successfull. The trio was saved without severe injuries. Later the director of the rescue operation said that there was no possibility for someone else to still be alive underground. Hard to imagine someone could survive a week while most of the rest of the mine was under water. The 40 remaining workers destiny seemed to be sealed. Lingety staff and rest of the country mourned the miners. But some miners were actually still alive. And co workers already saved believed there was still a chance that there were still survivors. And they were right. But they found no room for more air bubbles. In fact the workers knew there was one place where workers could hide from flood. , an old mine opened in 1860. After decades of mining in this area it was abandonned. By 1963 it was a crumbling chamber with rotten support structures 160 feet underground.
Miners asked to search the area but director thought that finding more survivors was impossible. In fact, when fllod arrived a group ran, found that all exits were cut off so the abandonned section was the only place left to hide. Ceiling of the section was highly unstable so it was dangerous but they had no choice. The water followed them inside but only to a certain point. Not everyone escaped. Once the water level stabilized, the men began to access the situation. They were trapped in an old and unstable mine. They only had their helmet lamps. The 2 bodies in the water floating just a few yards away intensified their distress, reminding them it would be a matter of time only before they would suffer the same fate. Fear and darkness drove them mad so Walter had to work as a mediator during fights. Stress eventually overcame the feel of hunger. Thirst was agonizing. They didn't drink the water because they were terrified of corpse poison. Some people began experiencing hallucinations. Their perception of time was gone. In the surface, a final funeral farewell was already organized at 4th November. But a few persistent miners insisted, pressing the director to drill above the old mine. Reluctantly he agreed to make a final attempt. Problem was that the intended drilling location. was on the railways tracks; Withotu belief in the success of the operation, the tema moved the drill a few yards to the side and began the process.The team accidentally hit the spot At 6 : 45 am after 3 hours of repeated drilling, they heard repeated knocking signals from below. Everyone was shocked. There was no time to celebrate though.
The men had been trapped undergroudn for 10 days. Drills, crews, rescue teams and doctors who left the site returned. An inner hole in the dirll 2,2 inches in diameter, a rape with torch, paper and pencil was lowered to the miners so they could report the situation. There were 11 survivors. Boulders falling while the tunnel caved in killed 10 miners. The second shipment was more generous. Miners received small bottle of drinks. Throughout the day a special tube was installed sending down a supply of essential items and food. Their calorie intake gradually increased over days as they received light, low salt meals. They received equipment in the anticipation of the operation. They assembled shelters against potential rock falls. A 4 day wait for the rescue drill. On November 7th 1963, the rig reached the tunnel of the anabdonned old man mine at a depth of 56 meters. The Dahlbusch bomb was lowered with 2 rescuers to support the evacuation. All miners were brought to the surface by the end of the day. Walter was the last to leave. All of this ended after 336 hours. Experts stated that low temperature of 13 degrees and 90% level of humidity helped to save the miners.
