The enchanting Journey through the talc of mine Paola

Once the fuses had been turned on it was necessary to abandon the yard quickly, to get to a safe place and to count the number of the explosions to verify that all the charges had exploded. If this wasn't the case, it was necessary to go back to the yard and to look for the unexploded charges by hand, so that it shouldn't explode during the loading on shovel.

This technique proved to be particularly dangerous not only for the described accident, but also for fuses manufacturing faults and for the explosive danger.
