上面报道中的mine flood就是”煤矿透水“,也可称为colliery flood,是指在坑道里采煤的时候,因为挖穿洞壁接通地下水或者积水的废弃坑道而引发的事故。此次事故发生之后,鹤岗兴安区一名负责work safety(安全生产)的官员,以及该区coal mine safety supervision bureau(煤矿安监局)的一名官员removed from office(被免职)。
Coal mining(采煤)是一个危险系数很高的行业,稍有疏忽就可能造成mine blast(煤矿爆炸)或mine flood(煤矿透水)等coalmine mishap/accident(矿难)。其中开采strip mine/open mine(露天煤矿)要比在mine shaft(矿井)下作业安全。
