LAST UPDATE | 16 Jun 2024

ENGLAND KICK OFF their Euro 2024 campaign this evening with an 8pm fixture against Serbia.

    Thank man they’re safe. After all it seems it was an ‘act of god’ that put them in danger….

    After “earthquake hit” ??? Jesus… That “earthquake” was cause by the tunnel collapsing in the mine, not the other way around. Get it right lads.

    Actually, there was a localised tremor that is understood to have caused the cave-in at the tunnel: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usb000fp74#summary

    But thanks for the comment. For future reference: if you want to query anything with the author, there is a ‘Send a Correction’ button beside our details. Might be a nicer way of doing it.

    Have a good one. Sinéad

    It’s is possible this was Induced Seismicity, caused by mining activity. Induced Seismicity is relatively common, it can happen when human activity causes weight on the Earth’s crust to change, it usually happens when new Dam are built and water in the reservoir presses down on the crust. The Rudna mine shifted 300 million tons or ore since mining began in 1974.

    Looks like I was right, just found this -

    A SEARCH FOR SEQUENCES OF MINING-INDUCED SEISMIC EVENTS AT THE RUDNA COPPER MINE IN POLAND – Grzegorz KWIATEK

    The largest earthquakes caused by the mine before this mag 4.6 event, were Mag 4.1 and 4.2.
