主に一酸化炭素中毒で犠牲になったという。
事故は13日午後、地下約2キロの地点で発生した。電気系統のトラブルにより爆発したとみられる。労働社会保障省は声明を発表し、事業主は過去2年間に4回検査を受け、2カ月前の検査では安全管理上問題はなかったと述べた。しかし、安全対策が不十分と指摘する作業員の声もある。
（時事ドットコム「炭鉱爆発で200人超死亡＝作業員７８７人、数百人閉じ込め－トルコ」より 2014/05/14 12:04）
トルコでは、経済成長に伴ってエネルギーの需要が増加し、炭鉱などの鉱山開発が進められてきた。しかし、不十分な設備や劣悪な労働環境が問題となっており、事故が後を絶たない状況が続いている。

TURKEY-POLITICS-DEMO(01 of16)
Police use a water cannon to disperse protestors near the Taksim Gezi park in Istanbul after clashes with riot police, on June 1, 2013, during a demonstration against the demolition of the park. Turkish police on June 1 began pulling out of Istanbul\'s iconic Taksim Square, after a second day of violent clashes between protesters and police over a controversial development project. Thousands of demonstrators flooded the site as police lifted the barricades around the park and began withdrawing from the square. What started as an outcry against a local development project has snowballed into widespread anger against what critics say is the government\'s increasingly conservative and authoritarian agenda.
