Turkey miner on explosion aftermath: 'It was mayhem'

Most of the victims were poisoned by carbon monoxide after a power unit blew up underground, shutting down ventilation systems.

BBC Turkish's Sinan Onus spoke to Turkish miner Yasin - who managed to come out alive - and his father Ali, who is a retired miner.
