Memorial to 13 miners killed by methane blast unveiled

A granite memorial in the form of a tear commemorating the 13 miners, including 12 Poles, who died in a methane explosion in the CSM coal mine in Stonava near Karvina a year ago was unveiled in the presence of Prime Minister Andrej Babis (ANO) today, on Friday, December 20, 2019. The two-metre statue by sculptor Martin Kuchar was consecrated by Ostrava-Opava auxiliary bishop Martin David. The ceremony was also attended by representatives of towns and villages in the Moravia-Silesia Region, the OKD mining company, miners, rescuers and many members of the miners' families. Some guests came from Poland because all the dead miners except one were from Poland. (CTK Photo/Jaroslav Ozana)
