Russian coal mine fire kills at least 52 people

Three days ago, Nov. 25, Russia's news agency reported a coal mine fire in Belovo, Siberia. There were 285 people in the mine when the fire started from a gas leak. Most of the people were able to be evacuated but some were stuck in a small section of the mine. Six rescue workers were killed in an attempt to get the remaining people out of the mine. 

Following this horrible incident, two senior managers of the mine have been arrested due to suspicions that safety laws were violated and caused the gas leak. The governor of Kemerovo made a three day period of mourning for the victims which cancelled all local entertainment shows and broadcasts.
