Explosion at an Iranian Mine Kills Dozens, State Media Says
A methane leak set off the explosion, the country’s official media said, and a rescue effort was underway for those believed to be trapped in the mine.

A methane explosion at a coal mine in eastern Iran killed dozens of miners, and the death toll was expected to rise, Iranian state media said on Sunday.

The miners died of suffocation from the rapid release of methane and carbon monoxide, according to a report by Iran’s state news agency, IRNA. IRNA, which said earlier Sunday that 51 miners had been killed, later put the figure at 34. Other state media had estimates of the number of people killed that ranged from 30 to 51.

At the time of the explosion on Saturday, in the eastern Iranian city of Tabas, there were 69 workers in the mine, IRNA said.

Many may still be trapped, according to Tasnim news agency, which is affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

It was not possible to independently verify details of the incident.

Officials say they are trying to work quickly to rescue the workers trapped in the mine, which is operated by the Madanjo Company, according to the Fars news agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards.

President Masoud Pezeshkian of Iran ordered an investigation into the explosion, IRNA reported. Mohammad-Ali Akhondi, a crisis management official, urged caution about the rescue efforts, IRNA reported.

“The reality is that it is a difficult task to rescue the injured,” he said, according to IRNA. The report said rescuers would need to go about 2,300 feet diagonally and 820 feet vertically underground to reach the trapped workers.

Industrial accidents are common in Iran, and many construction and mining sites operate with outdated and inadequate materials.

In 2017, dozens of miners were killed and many were hurt after an explosion at a coal mine near the northern Iranian town of Azadshahr, in the Golestan Province.

It's not even the extremes, the default position on Israel in the US is far to the right of moderate, even for a LOT of otherwise progressive people/politicians.

I didn't read that as referring specifically to Israel. I read that as a generalization. And I agree with it. People who take extreme positions tend to drive the conversation. Being a moderate doesn't command much of an audience.

A Jew patented the first telephone pager system, and co-invented the walike talkie, among other things.

Quote

Irving "Al" Gross was a pioneer in mobile wireless communication. He created and patented many communications devices, specifically in relation to an early version of the walkie-talkie, Citizens' Band radio, the telephone pager and the cordless telephone.

 

Quote

Cartoonist Chester Gould asked if he could use Gross' concept of a miniaturized two-way radio in his Dick Tracy comic strip. The result was the Dick Tracy two-way wrist radio

A moderate position would start with cutting off the gravy train until certain conditions are met, like ceasing all attempts at the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the West Bank. Removal of the settlers, etc.

Removal of the settlers doesn't strike me as moderate.

I'm late to the whole pager/device attack discussion, but it strikes me that this is how we should endeavor to "bomb threat X into the stone age."  Compare this to the monetary and human expense needed to take down the leadership of Al Qaeda after 9/11 using more conventional means.  Bravo.

The fact that he's using wired EarPods instead of bluetooth headphones is a huge red flag.  

He is risking arrest by the police for “hate speech”.

Yep.

Hamas has been an identified terrorist organization by the US government since 1997.  Other countries, including the UK, also designate it as such.

I don't mean killing them, just pulling them out. The settler movements in the West Bank are little better than terrorism.

Why? To establish a two state system that isn't going to work? Your "moderate" stance is pro Palestinian. Period. The Palestinians aren't fundamentally upset about the settler movement in the West Bank and areas around Gaza. They're more upset the Jews control Jerusalem. That's what this conflict is about. People want to pretend if the Jews and Palestinians will just be nice to one another and treat each other with respect and human decency, we can all put this in the rear view mirror. The Jews want their historical homeland. More than that, they have it. The Palestinians want their homeland back that they believe - rightfully - was taken from them by force. That's the crux of it.

You'd have the Jews and Palestinians live in one country in perfect harmony somehow, with the Palestinians dominating the government because of having a larger population. I don't understand how you think that's ever going to work in the real world at all. Why in the world would the Israelis allow that to occur? They'd be under immediate threat of legal expulsion the moment something like that occurred. The same way it occurred in all the other Arab countries. 

The Palestinians want their country back. Not part of their country. The whole country. The Jews are going to make sure they die before they give it back. When the Jews say "Never Again" about the Holocaust, they don't mean there will never be another Jewish genocide. They mean they're not going to go meekly into the cattle cars and gas chambers next time. 

I feel like you think I'm extolling genocide of the Palestinian people. I am not. I'm simply saying one or the other has to go, one way or another. That's the only way towards lasting peace. Without it, no lasting peace. So if you don't have lasting peace, then you have to pick a side. Saying the Israelis should give up their settlements and quit being so mean to the poor Palestinians who want to be left alone so they can wipe the Israelis off the map somehow, is being pro Palestinian, whether you want to admit it or not.

There's no moderate side here. There's no way to halve this baby.

Not gonna lie I'm not reading all that. I learned my lesson from the basketball board years ago.

E: Ok I lied, I read it. You have no clue what you're talking about. Not sure why I subjected my brain to that bullshit. You're just going on ignore like Rex.

Actually I think I'm just going to kill myself rather than read another dipshit tell me I should just be ok with my extended family members being killed and their homes taken in the West Bank, and that not being ok with it means I want Palestinians to exterminate Jews.

Seriously, eat shit and don't come to my funeral.

Fantana'd! Good job Cloak Room-ing a perfectly good thread... again. You truly are one of the worst posters on this board. Unless you can meaningfully contribute to this thread by posting informational links, or can make insightful commentary that doesn't include sucking terrorist dick, I suggest you slink back to the CR, where you ilk and commentary are actually expected, tolerated , and acceptable.

Here's the link, please use it:
