The explosive in the mine of Akkarapat Mining Company killed Sanit Chukaew, 43, the firm’s explosives expert, who was certified by the Industry Ministry. A woman from Myanmar, identified only as Kee, who was Sanit’s assistant, was injured from the blast. The governor who visited the scene claimed that the accident may have been because Sanit was carrying his mobile phone. “Somebody may call him at that moment and the explosive went off,” said the governor. Adul told police that he was informed that Sanit’s mobile phone had some problems.
