The workers were working in the Karadon mine located in the Black Sea province of Zonguldak when the explosion happened on Monday. It is believed that methane gas exploded and caused the cavern to fall in.
Rescuers have gone through over 2000 meters of an underground cavern attempting to get to where the men are trapped.
They are saying that they need 4 additional days to get through the next 20 meters. The rescue crew is finding large sections of stones the size of automobiles and that is why it is taking so long.
As family members wait for any sign of life, hope slowly fades with each passing day. Experts on mine rescues have stated that there is not much of a chance that anyone will come out alive.
After the blast happened on Monday, there were 8 workers who were trapped in a lift that were rescued.
Ambulances are waiting at the mine, ready to transport any survivors.
