The trapped workers escaped to a safety area underground, where they were being supplied with oxygen, before they returned to the surface through an intact shaft. The blast happened just after 9am local time on Friday at a former potash salt mine that was was shut down in 1982. Do you know any of the trapped workers? Officials initially said there were up to 30 workers trapped down in the mine, but later said there were about 35. Firefighters launched a rescue operation and the two injured workers were taken to hospital, the broadcaster MDR reported.
