The oldest pit in operation in Europe, perhaps in the world, the Desch salt mine in Translyvania, has caved in. Its first shaft was sunk by the Romans in pre-Christian days, and the mine has been operated, on and off. for more than 2680 rears. Through constant exploitation the labyrinthine galleries had undertunnelled the whole town of Desch. and eventually the main shaft collapsed. Fortunately the accident occurred at night time, when nobody wns working underground. Only minor malerml damage was done to some of the houses near the pit bead.
