High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Oaks explosion was one of the very worst colliery disasters and Mining accidents in the United Kingdom. The pit exploded on 12 December 1866, ultimately killing 388 miners and their would-be rescuers. The Oaks was one of the largest coal mines working the rich Barnsley seam of coal in Yorkshire, and the coal was known to be very gassy. This same pit had suffered a previous disaster on 5 March 1847, when a blast killed 73 men and boys, and other pits working the same seam had experienced similar accidents. The management were fully aware of the problem of methane gas, and there were strict rules on use of safety lamps. Ventilation was good, and carried the gas that emerged from the seam away to be dispersed safely in the open air above. However, it was that very gas that caused not only the initial very large explosion on 12 December, but also another seventeen explosions that rocked the pit afterwards.
