The mine maliciously concealed it.
In the phone call received by the reporter and the discussion of the local people in Lan County, it was said that after the accident, the mine tried to maliciously conceal and transported the bodies of three miners who died to Xinzhou for cremation in advance. At present, this situation has been recognized by state administration of work safety. From September 8th, the investigation team of the State Administration of Work Safety went to surrounding hospitals and funeral parlours in Xinzhou and Taiyuan, and finally found three bodies from Lan County, Lvliang, where they were cremated. At this point, the mine's attempt to maliciously conceal the truth of the accident was shattered.
The county magistrate and three policemen were suspended.
At present, it can be basically confirmed that the Gaoyuan well of Wan Tai Iron Mine in Liangjiazhuang Township, Lan County collapsed and fell from 23: 00 on August 30th to 65: 438+0 on August 30th, 2005. The article on the website of state administration of work safety said, "In the absence of investigation, the Lanxian government rushed to the conclusion that there were no signs of accidents, which led to serious water accumulation in this well, which caused great difficulties in on-site investigation." Wang Shanhou, deputy magistrate in charge of production safety in Lan County, was suspended for inspection. What is even more incredible is that Gao Yuan, the owner of Gaoyuan Mine, escaped easily on September 9 after being monitored by the police. Liu Yongming, discipline inspection secretary of Lanxian Public Security Bureau, and two policemen of the bureau have been suspended for inspection.
The death toll was questioned.
A person in charge of the government office of Lanxian County said in an interview with reporters a few days ago that the number of miners killed in the iron ore collapse and roof fall accident that can be confirmed at present is three. However, this statement has been widely questioned by the local people in Lan County. A Sichuan foreman who used to run an iron mine in the local area said that on the day of the incident, other mines were also producing, and it was impossible for only three workers to be under the mine. A taxi driver who often runs in mines in Lan County said that there are 100 miners in each iron mine in Bojinwa, yuanjiacun. Miners go underground three times a day. There must be more than three people.
It is understood that at present, the mine manager Liang and the foreman Qiu Zhihuan have been detained in criminal detention, and residential surveillance measures have been taken for those who may be involved in the accident, such as the legal representative of iron mine, Du, the mine manager of Yitong Iron Mine, and Yu Zidong, the foreman. The number of victims is still under investigation.
