After those photos of coal miners getting back from their job have been posted the discussion has sprung in comments, about how much more tough might be the work in the coal mine than in an office. Some say that the conditions in some coal mines have not been much of a change since hundred years ago. It is that rough that people have to stand on their knees thru all their work day and use the sledgehammers and jackhammers to actually mine the coal. Their whole body gets covered in coal dust. More photos inside:

It’s not clear if those photos from Russia or Ukraine, because Ukraine has been cited as number two coal producer in Europe with over than 145 coal mines across the country – mostly the Eastern part.

The coal miners job itself has been proved to be dangerous. Not only because of the conditions and the coal dust, but also there have been numerous accidents in the coal mines in the past.
