Rocanville Potash Miners Stuck Underground After Earthquake Hits Saskatchewan

A number of miners in Rocanville, Saskatchewan were stuck underground after an earthquake with a magnitude of 3.8 rattled the community on Monday (September 5).
As quoted in the news article:

Earthquakes Canada said it happened around 4:40 a.m. CST, and was centred about 32 kilometres east-southeast of Yorkton.
The Potash Corp. mine near Rocanville, Sask., had to switch to backup power when a power outage occurred.
However, that wasn’t enough to run the hoists, so about 40 people were stuck underground for a while.
Randy Burton of Potash Corp. said the people underground went to refuge stations with power, air, and water until the power came back on.
The workers were then slowly brought back up to the surface — the last person coming up at about 11:30 a.m.
The company hasn’t sent crews back down since, but it’s not because of the outage.
“We’re just starting our annual maintenance shut down, so this happened just by coincidence at the same time,” said Burton.
Everyone was all right after the incident, and Burton said there was no damage to the mine.
