Another earthquake near Rudna, Poland




The village of Rudna (Lubin area) had 3 miners killed and 9 injured when a M4.5 quake struck near the underground copper mine in December 2010. This is the second similar Magnitude earthquake in only a couple of weeks. These quakes are really dangerous for the people working in the underground. Huge underground roads are allowing big trucks to transport ore . The quakes are only moderate in strength and will certainly not be damaging above the ground, but it is always waiting for a green light from the copper mine to find out that all the miners are OK. We will check local reports the coming days and bring it to you if additional information is available.
This was the article that we wrote at the time : 3 miners killed and 12injured by earthquake in Poland
