Hōjō Coal Mine Disaster
|
Mitsubishi formally opened the Hōjō mine in 1908.
|
It was the seventh mine in an elaborate network of mines known as the Mitsubishi Chikuho coalfield.
|
The mine was a shaft mine that pioneered deep shaft mining in Japan and was one of the deeper mines of its day, at parts was deep.
|
On December 15, 1914 coal dust and methane gas mixed together in the air until some sort of spark set off a giant explosion.
|
The blast sent the mine shaft cage, used to take miners in and out of the mine, flying out of the mine shaft.
|
After the explosion, the owners of mine cut up hundreds of oranges and tossed them down the shaft thinking that the citrus would negate the poison gas fumes.
|
As the rescuers went down into the mine they "Each held a summer orange in their mouth and went down breathing only through their noses" under the same belief.
|
After a short while to prevent the fire from spreading underground and destroying valuable coal the mine's entrances were sealed to put out the fire but as a result, also killing anyone who survived the initial explosion underground.
|
As with most Japanese mines the wives worked with their husbands and an estimated 20% of those killed were women.

Wladimir Klitschko vs. Lamon Brewster
|
Wladimir Klitschko vs. Lamon Brewster was a professional boxing match contested between former WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko and Lamon Brewster for the vacant WBO heavyweight title.
|
The event took place on 10 April 2004 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Last Vegas, Nevada.
|
After his shock knockout defeat at the hands of Corrie Sanders, first brought in new trainer Freddie Roach to assist lead trainer Fritz Sdunek for his quick knockouts of Fabio Eduardo Moli and Danell Nicholson.
|
Following these fights Roach left the Klitschko camp to make way for new lead trainer Emanuel Steward who had become avaliable after the retirement of WBC & Lineal champion Lennox Lewis.
|
Brewster was on a five fight win streak (all by TKO) since his 2000 defeats against Clifford Etienne & Charles Shufford, he was previously set to challenge newly crowned WBO title holder Corrie Sanders, who declined the fight in favour of a bout with Vitali Klitschko for the vacent WBC belt.
|
He was then set to face David Tua for the vacent belt in February 2004 before Tua unexpectedly pulled out.
|
In the midst of this, in October 2003, his veteran trainer Bill Slayton died at the age of 81.
|
After a press conference before the fight Brewster was seen in tears after talking about Slayton death, leading to comparisons with Buster Douglas who's mother passed away in the build up to his title bout with Mike Tyson.
|
On the day of the fight Brewster was a 7 to 1 underdog.
|
The first four rounds were dominated by Klitschko, who knocked Brewster down in the fourth with a right hand and appeared to be close to stopping the American but he made through the round.
|
In the fifth round Klitschko appeared somewhat fatigued and with less than a minute left in the round Brewster caught him with a pair of left hooks than sent him into ropes which referee Robert Byrd classified as a knockdown.
|
Brewster then dominated the remainder of round before Klitschko hit the canvas shortly after bell sounded to end the round.
|
After making it to his feet Klitschko attempted to return to his corner but Byrd waved the fight off giving Brewster a TKO victory and the WBO belt.
|
Throughout the fight Klitschko landed 39% of his punches while Brewster landed 27%.
|
Brewster dedicated his victory to Slayden, and would make his first defence five months later against Kali Meehan.
|
Nearly a month after the fight Klitschko's attorney Judd Burstein sent the U.S. Attorney's office in Las Vegas a letter asking for a federal investigation of the fight, citing what he said were "mysterious circumstances" surrounding the fight.
|
These concerns were dismissed by Nevada Athletic Commission executive director Marc Ratner sho said "We were so concerned that night that we sent him to the trauma unit instead of the emergency room with a neurosurgeon in the ambulance," Ratner said.
|
"He took all the appropriate tests, both urine and blood.
|
There was nothing in those tests irregular or remarkable."
|
No proof of wrongdoing was ever found.
|
The two boxers would have a rematch in 2007 with Brewster's corner asking the fight to be stopped at the end of the sixth round, and throughout the rest of his long carrer Klitschko would use this loss as driving force saying in an interview with ESPN's Dan Rafael "I will be thankful to Lamon until my grave.
|
It's something that changed my life.
|
I'm not sure what I would have become had I won.
|
That fight changed my life for the good.
