The emerald mining area in Pagan, Myanmar collapsed again. Why does this area always collapse?

Pagan jadeite mining area in Myanmar can be said to be the largest jadeite mining area in Myanmar. Think about it. After decades of mining, the mountains in this area are riddled with holes, and holes may be dug by machines or people everywhere. In a place like this, there is no one, and it is sure to collapse often. In addition, many mining areas are built on hillsides, so once it rains heavily, it may cause landslides, so this place often collapses and employees are often buried alive.

Despite these frequent safety accidents, it still attracts countless people to come to Myanmar to make money, because Pagan mining area in Myanmar is the largest mining center in the world, and a total of 300,000 laborers gather here to mine. For these workers, they just repeat a single task day after day, that is, looking for wool in the waste mound. It's really luck. It's possible that you will be really rich when you come. Maybe you can't find a piece of jade here for several years, but for these workers, they are just ordinary people who work hard. Who would have thought that one day disaster would befall them?

For Pagan mining area in Myanmar, casualties like this often occur, because in fact, many of this mining area are illegally mined, which means that these institutions and this group of people are illegally mined, so naturally there is no safety guarantee. Most miners are free miners, and there are no special arrangements for their living places. Generally speaking, as soon as heavy machinery is mined, they live near the garbage dump. Then think about the dangerous places where they live, especially these mountains, which have basically been hollowed out, so once it rains heavily in the rainy season, these mounds will be very unstable. It is likely to collapse under the scouring of heavy rain, especially in many mining areas, which are actually built on hillsides and are likely to encounter mudslides and landslides.

For example, the mining industry in Myanmar suddenly closes down, and there are dozens of cases every year. These miners are willing to take such risks for money, and those mine owners recruit a large number of miners for money. Even if Myanmar wants to limit this phenomenon, it is almost impossible, because Myanmar has passed a new mining law before, but the problem is that once such a law is implemented, many people will actually be found to be out of compliance.
